Bulletin of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) | April 2008 Strengthening the World's Long-Term Soil Research Base (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The article emphasizes the critical need for strengthening and organizing the global long-term soil research base. It highlights the importance of long-term soil experiments (LTSEs) in addressing pressing questions about food production, land management, and soil-climate interactions. The paper discusses existing LTSEs, their contributions to sustainability science, and the challenges they face, particularly in terms of funding and institutional support. It advocates for an interconnected global network of LTSEs to enhance collaboration and knowledge-sharing among researchers, ultimately aiming for improved understanding and management of soils in the context of environmental change.
