SOIL CLASSIFICATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA AND NOMENCLATURE ACCORDING TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
Abstract
The Republic of Armenia is a small mountainous country scarce in soil, where as all the components of the landscape, including soil cover are subjected to upward zoning patterns. The classification of all genetic soil types separated in the territory of the republic is based on the criteria presented in International World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB).
