Pedology deals with pedogenesis, soil morphology, and soil classification, while edaphology studies the way soils influence plants, fungi, and other living things.

Sometimes terms which refer to branches of soil science, such as pedology ( formation, chemistry, morphology and classification of soil ) and edaphology ( influence of soil on organisms, especially plants ), are used as if synonymous with soil science.

* Antoine Laurent de Jussieu publishes Genera Plantarum: secundum ordines naturales disposita, juxta methodum in Horto regio parisiensi exaratam, anno M. DCC. LXXIV, providing a basis for the system of natural classification of flowering plants largely still in use.

The success of this work was hindered by its innovations in the use of terms, which were ridiculed by the defenders of the popular sexual system of Linnaeus ; but it did much to open the way for the establishment, by means principally of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Genera Plantarum ( 1789 ), of the natural method of the classification of plants.

Foremost among them are his Genera Plantarum ( 1831-41 ), in which he lays down a new system of classification, Grundzüge einer neuen Theorie der Pflanzenerzeugung ( Foundations of a new theory of plant breeding ; 1838 ), and Die Medicinalpflanzen der österreichischen Pharmakopöe ( Medicinal plants in the Austrian pharmacopoeia ; 1842 ).

Historically, astronomy was more concerned with the classification and description of phenomena in the sky, while astrophysics attempted to explain these phenomena and the differences between them using physical laws.

Von Strahlenberg's classification was the first attempt at classification of a large number of languages some of which are Altaic.

An alternative classification, though one with much less currency among Altaicists, was proposed by John C. Street ( 1962 ), according to which Turkic-Mongolic-Tungusic forms one grouping and Korean-Japanese-Ainu another, the two being linked in a common family that Street designated as " North Asiatic ".

Ampère's final work, published posthumously, was Essai sur la philosophie des sciences, ou exposition analytique d ' une classification naturelle de toutes les connaissances humaines (" Essay on the philosophy of science or analytical exposition on the natural classification of human knowledge ").

Although this classification was widely accepted, further infrageneric classification was ( and still is ) needed to differentiate this widely diverse group.

A modified infrageneric classification of Amaranthus was published by Mosyakin & Robertson ( 1996 ) and includes three subgenera: Acnida, Amaranthus, and Albersia.

The field of classifying Apicomplexa is in flux and classification has changed throughout the years since it was formally named in 1970.
