Description :
A model of pedogenesis is presented in an evolutional paradigm that emphasizes the integrated effects of dynamic and passive pedogenic vectors in directing pathways and in controlling rates of soil genesis through time. This model helps explain the apparent minimal development and regressed character of some old soils and the rapid and strong development of some young ones.
