This chapter describes the long-standing tradition of soil science in Friuli Venezia Giulia, starting from the pioneers: Domenico Pecile, Domenico, Giuseppe and Egidio Feruglio. Their work laid the foundation for following activities, mainly due to the presence of Alvise Comel, most prominent figure in soil studies in the region. A broad description follows on the evolution of local soil studies from its historical roots in the two agricultural research structures founded around 1870 in Gorizia and Udine up to present days, where ERSA and CREA still maintain a soil branch in their institutional activity. The foundation of the University of Udine (1976) and ARPA (1998) enriched the regional scene of soil science research.

Abstract
This chapter describes the long-standing tradition of soil science in Friuli Venezia Giulia, starting from the pioneers: Domenico Pecile, Domenico, Giuseppe and Egidio Feruglio. Their work laid the foundation for following activities, mainly due to the presence of Alvise Comel, most prominent figure in soil studies in the region. A broad description follows on the evolution of local soil studies from its historical roots in the two agricultural research structures founded around 1870 in Gorizia and Udine up to present days, where ERSA and CREA still maintain a soil branch in their institutional activity. The foundation of the University of Udine (1976) and ARPA (1998) enriched the regional scene of soil science research.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
