Rezumat	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.	Phytolith analysis is a laboratory technique used to identify and quantify microscopic silica bodies deposited in plant cells, recovered from soils, sediments, or archaeological contexts. Because phytoliths preserve long after organic material has decayed, the method is central to reconstructing past vegetation, crop histories, land use, and soil development across agronomy, paleoecology, and archaeobotany.
