oil exploratory surveys are costly and possess significant practical applications for revitalizing agroecosystems to achieve optimal land use. At present, there is a noticeable decline in public engagement with these valuable knowledge systems in watershed planning, which hampers the development of successful landscape-level initiatives. The rapid development of digital maps intended for validating land evaluation principles has not progressed adequately, primarily due to a lack of comprehension regarding the emergence of pedomemories among soil surveyors. The systematic process of conducting soil inventories requires the visualization of landscapes, an understanding of observed phenomena, and the transformation of these observations into conceptual images that reflect the dynamics of natural soil formations, alongside innovative thinking to articulate the realities that extend beyond immediate perceptions.
