The EU Soil Thematic Strategy: outline and current situation in the debate
Soil provides us with food, biomass and raw materials. It serves as a platform for human activities and landscape and as an archive of heritage and plays a central role as a habitat and gene pool. It stores, filters and transforms many substances, including water, nutrients and carbon. In fact, it is the biggest carbon store in the world (1,500 gigatonnes). These functions must be protected because of both their socio-economic and environmental importance. Soil is subject to a series of degradation ... |

Where have all the soils students gone?
Where have all the soils students gone? Several articles have been published recently discussing the decline in undergraduate student enrollment in soil science. Those who work directly with these students have known that this trend has existed for many years. At first we thought this trend was temporary. Now we realize that this declining trend is real. The trend is national and international in scope. In the United States the National Academy of Sciences through the National Committee for Soil ... |
