	Pedogenesis is the process of ~~soil~~ formation. [[Soil]] has many biological, chemical, and physical factors that are variable, and constantly subject to change. Its nature, profile build-up, and specific [[properties]] are the direct result of several pedogenic processes. In the late 19th century (1880s), Russian scientist [[Vasily Dokuchaev]] perceived soil as an “independent natural body” regarded as a function of local maternal rock variety, age of the land (time since it became surface land), climate, and vegetation [3]. His ideas were expanded in the next century by scientist Hans Jenny, who in the 1940s, established that the development of soil is influenced by five interrelated factors: climate, [[organisms]], relief (topography), parent material, and time [2]. In 1941, Jenny detailed his ideas and observations in his book, “Factors of Soil Formation: A System of Quantitative Pedology”, where he coined the term pedogenesis, and outlined an equation that would account for soil formation [7]. This equation also known as the State Factor Model is summarized as:		Pedogenesis is the process of [[pedosphere]] formation.

	The climate factor of soil genesis is the climate (I.e. temperature, precipitation, and humidity) of the ecosystem [3]. Temperature and moisture are two climatic components that are very influential in pedogenesis [2]. The production of mineral particles caused by weathering is directly influenced by temperature. [[Bedrock]] weathering rates typically increase with higher temperatures.

	The parent material factor is defined as the initial state of the rock, sediment, or minerals of an ecosystem from which the soils develop [3]. Weathering of bedrock and transported sediments from erosive means can make up this factor. For a habitat that has been clear-cut or burned down, the parent material would be the present soil at which the new flora and fauna begin to grow over[3]. Parent material influences are generally related to soil chemistry and texture, and nutrient cycling.

	The origin of pedogenesis as a form of study dates back to Vasily Dokuchaev. He believed that pedogenesis was principally [[File:Hans.jpg\|thumb\|Jenny's literature detailing pedogenesis (1941) [9] ]] controlled by vegetation and climate [2]. This was based on observations that alike soils developed in spatially separate areas when their vegetation and climate were similar. Konstantin Glinka, a student of Dokuchaev, went on to express soil as “not only a natural body with definite properties, but also its geographical position and surroundings, I.e. climate, vegetation, and animal life” [3]. Hans Jenny’s interpretation, which was based on Dokuchaev and those that came before him, provided a detailed definition of both soil and the "larger system," as well as a method to quantitatively and numerically link soil and larger system properties to state factors [3]. This “larger system” would be “composed of the upper part of the lithosphere, the lower part of the atmosphere, and a considerable part of the biosphere.” The [[founders of ~~soil concepts~~]] initiated the study of soil and pedogeneis, and laid a foundation to be improved and continued on by others.
