Environmental and edaphological characterization of the Unidad Profesional Multidisciplinaria “Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla”
Abstract
This article aims to present the process of obtaining a soil monolith by implementing a traditional methodology based on the work of Van Baren, J.H.V. & W. Bomer (1979), collected within the Multidisciplinary Professional Unit "Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla," located northwest of the city of Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo. It also aims to demonstrate the importance of this practice in assessing soil quality and understanding its capacity to support plant and animal life.
The collected monolith will be processed for subsequent incorporation into the National Soil Museum (MNS), located at the College of Postgraduates (Montecillo Campus). The monolith will include a brief description of its morphological characteristics, as well as general aspects from the collection location to its physical, chemical, and utilization properties. Furthermore, this article aims to support the environmental and soil characterization of the study site.
