CONT

A soil scientist is a person who is qualified to evaluate and interpret soils and soil-related data for the purpose of understanding soil resources as they contribute to not only agricultural production, but as they affect environmental quality and as they are managed for protection of human health and the environment ... Soil scientists are engaged in a variety of professional activities that involve direct applications of Soil Science knowledge. This work is often conducted in coordination with non-Soil Science professionals.

OBS

Classically, a "scientist" is one who is "learned" in a particular field. In Soil Science, the scientist does add to the body of knowledge, but in our new paradigm, the soil scientist is also the practitioner of the body of knowledge that is employed for making judgements and evaluations of the use of soil resources, or impact upon soil by cultural activities (e.g., land-use planning).
