Communicating Soil Processes

All of the discussions regarding soil taxonomy miss the point of both proposals, which has to do with changing genetic designations, not soil taxonomy.

If, after this decision is reached, specific details inside soil taxonomy have to be changed, then that is a separate topic and discussion that should occur at that time.

We should not be concerned about the workload that this decision may eventually impact.

What is most important is to get the science right, and do the best job we can of communicating soil processes through the use of genetic designations. As Katherine
