सारांश	Pedogenesis modeling is a quantitative method used in agronomy and soil science to simulate the processes by which soils form and evolve over time. Rooted in Hans Jenny's 1941 factorial framework — soil as a function of climate, organisms, relief, parent material, and time — modern approaches translate these conceptual drivers into coupled numerical process equations, allowing researchers to reconstruct past soil states and project future soil properties under changing land use or climate scenarios.	Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) is a quantitative, data-driven pipeline that predicts the spatial distribution of soil properties and classes across a landscape by statistically linking field observations to environmental covariates — terrain attributes, remote sensing imagery, climate surfaces, and geology layers. The approach replaces or augments traditional expert-drawn soil surveys with reproducible, spatially explicit models, and is applied in agronomy, land management, food security, and environmental assessment.
