Аннотация:The diversity soils in the “soil kingdom” as natural material media is determined by many factors of their origin and great variety of combinations of the soil-forming factors. Soil bodies of different thickness, color, structure, etc., comprise the Earth’s pedosphere. Soil diversity is also increased by the influence of the anthropogenic factors of soil formation. The totality of all so ils and soil-like bodies forms a soil cover of the Earth. It is shown on soil maps and described by soil classifications. The soil classifications are sown with a system of central images, formed in national institutions of soil sciences. International classification of soils, created in the second half of XX century, describes the whole totality of soils on the Globe, based on the integrated experience of national bodies as well as by means of an agreed upon nomenclature. The whole totality of soils is divided into 32 generalizing taxa (Reference Groups) on the basis of their main properties and genesis. The World Reference Base of soil resources is the basic language of the soil
sciences, which allows scientific association and contacts as well as translation of the
soil information into different languages. The soil is a planetary niche of ecological connections, providing interaction and unity of the biosphere components and creating conditions for sustaining the biodiversity on the Earth.
