Klasifikasi Tanah
Usaha membeda-bedakan
mengelompokkan tanah berdasarkan
sifat-sifatnya
Tujuan
mengetahui sifat dan ciri tanah pada
mengetahui sifat dan ciri tanah pada
masing-masing kelompok tanah (kelas tanah)
sehingga memudahkan pengguna tanah
untuk mengelola tanah tersebut agar dapat
berproduksi secara optimal

General Principles of Natural Classification Systems:
• The system should express general or universalrelationships that exist in nature. One should be able to understand, remember, generalize, or predict from the information obtained.
• The scheme should be based on characteristics or attributes of things classified as related to their attributes of things classified as related to their
genesis. It should place similar things together on the basis of their properties.
• It is technically impossible to use all properties of the items being classified. Existing knowledge must be used to determine which properties are most
Why Classify Soils?
• Organize knowledge to enable investigation
and communication (structure/organization)
• Provide framework for establishing
relationships among soils and their
environment (scientific)
• Establish groupings for interpretations
• Establish groupings for interpretations
(utilitarian)
– Optimal use
– Hazard/limitation/remediation assessment – Potential productivity
– Framework for technology transfer/information dissemination
