The USDA Soil Classification system, also known as Soil Taxonomy, is a hierarchical framework developed by the United States Department of Agriculture for categorizing soils based on measurable properties such as texture, structure, pH, and organic matter content. It divides soils into six hierarchical levels: order, suborder, great group, subgroup, family, and series. This system provides a standardized approach to studying and managing soils, supporting land use, agriculture, and environmental conservation. Source: USDA-NRCS (1999).
