geography and diversity of the biogeographical …

Abstract. For decades, geography has been mainly a qualitative and descriptive discipline. There are now technologies and mathematical tools available that allow formalizing geography in more quantitative terms. In this paper, the distribution and diversity of the soils of are analyzed using GIS tools and pedodiversity algorithms.
