Nonlinearity of Soil Processes in Space

It is shown that different factors of soil formation, for all their equal importance in soil formation as a whole, may, in certain cases, not only act in different directions, but also have different strengths (magnitudes of the gradient of change in space). This strength is determined by the ability to change soil taxa when moving in space. The higher this ability, the bigger the strength of the spatially oriented factor of soil formation.
