Soil scientists are interested in the formation of soils, their role in the environment, and how they affect plant growth. Soil scientists study pedology (soil formation and evolution), mineralogy (the rocks from which soils are formed), physics (water and solute transport within soils), chemistry, plant nutrition and microbiology.
