Agroforestry geology (English spelling)

Japanese: 農林地質学 - のうりんちしつがく(英語表記)agroforestrial geology
Agroforestry geology (English spelling)
An applied science that investigates geology as an environmental factor for agriculture and forestry. In Japan, Wakimizu Tetsugoro (1867-1942) was the pioneer of this field. It was the mainstream of applied geology during the Meiji and Taisho eras. Knowledge about the formation and properties of soil, and the formation of landforms, owes a great deal to geology. In the Kansai and Sanyo regions, bald mountains are concentrated in the Hanakoiwa Mountains, but the rice paddies in this area produce high-quality rice. In addition, the Paleozoic mountainous areas of this region are often planted with cedar trees, making them suitable for fruit cultivation.

Japanese:
農林業の環境因子としての地質について究明する応用学。日本では脇水鉄五郎(1867‐1942)がこの部門の開拓者である。明治・大正時代では応用地質学の主流であった。土壌の生成や性質,あるいは地形の形成についての知識は地質学に負うところがきわめて大きい。関西・山陽地方では,はげ山は花コウ岩山地に集中しているが,一方この地帯の水田では良質な米が生産される。またこの地方の古生層の山地ではスギ造林が多く,果樹栽培にも適している。
