Pebble-free soils, the most sought-after for agriculture, are therefore the most studied. However, those containing appreciable quantities of pebbles represent a significant proportion of soils used for crop production.

Yet the properties of stony soils are relatively poorly understood, because studies are often limited to the fine fraction alone, deliberately overlooking the presence of coarse elements. In fact, fine soil is only one element in the system that the soil forms with the pebbles, and cannot represent it.

A synthesis of the specific properties of stony soils and their impact on production was lacking, and Raymond Gras' 1994 book fills the gap.
