Cuaxustles Terric Anthrosols have been proposed as the @IUSS_ORG World Soil of the Year 2027!
Terrace soils, like those used for potato cultivation in Peru, tea in China, or maize in Mexico, are a testament to human innovation in agriculture.🇵🇪🇲🇽🇨🇳
Best of luck to the team!

The soil profile is breached, subsoil exposed, and degradation becomes self-reinforcing.
Often, this is not natural failure, but unmanaged development and altered drainage without soil-informed planning.
Soil resilience has limits.
Once exceeded, recovery is slow and costly.

Although I’m an unabashed USSR enjoyer, this map shows the most damning thing about its policies
This is the best farmland in the world. But the USSR depended on grain imports for its whole existence. It’s easy to see why it failed

Diez años después de su publicación en papel, se digitalizó el libro "Suelos de Córdoba" que presenta las características de 22 variables del horizonte superficial.
Para algunas variables (ej: CIC, micronutrientes) sigue siendo la única fuente de datos a nivel provincial.
