I always wondered with how much we use soil if just that rate of change increase itself in the properties of soil worldwide is having any kind of noticeable effects. Basically do different parts of the environment have clocks, and if you start to work on soil would you change its clock in terms of interactions with all the other various system that make up the environment.

Not sure if this helps (from someones webpage):

... Recently deposited material, such as the deposition from a flood, exhibits no features from soil development activities. The previous soil surface and underlying horizons become buried. The time clock resets for these soils. Terraces above the active floodplain, while genetically similar to the floodplain, are older land surfaces and exhibit more development features.

soil horizon is another keyword search.

 

There is some debate as to whether human activity on soils should be given a horizon name. So yes, experts in soils have noticed changes.

If the punctuation and spelling wouldn't be all messed up, I would have thought we're communicating with a poorly written bot here. :D

 

My humble apologies for making a joke about somebody... But I really don't understand this last post.
