Timesis working group is made of soil scientists, foresters, agronomists, geologists who considered Soil Sciences as one of the fundamental sciences for an in-depth knowledge of the land and a rational and balanced planning for the use of its resources.

It is the science which studies the soil; it investigates its origin, its physical-chemical-biological characteristics, its distribution and evolution.

The classic product of these activities is the soil cartography.

Timesis carries out such studies and produces thematic maps in order:

• to plan and manage the land use: urban, agricultural and forest development;
• to help private farms and forest companies to decide what kind of crops or trees to grow, what species and where; what to irrigate; special attention is given to vineyard and olive-tree growing;
• to assess and monitor the environmental impact and to guarantee the environmental protection while building up the main infrastructures;
• to prevent soil erosion and desertification.
