IUSS News World Congress of Soil Science (WCSS22)

With more than 1,600 soil science practitioners from various disciplines
attending the Congress in person and several hundreds online, the 22nd
World Congress of Soil Science organised by the British Soil Science
Society in Glasgow between 31 July and 5 August 2022 was a resounding
success.

The Congress theme, ‘Soil Science – crossing boundaries, changing society’
focused on the link between soil and society, with sessions covering soil
systems, soil processes, soil management and how we interact with and use
soils around the world. Specialist workshops and discussion sessions took
place across a wide range of soil disciplines. The core programme was
supported by tours and a cultural and arts programme for delegates and the
wider public to explore our diverse environment and culture. The specific
policymakers’ programme, held on Tuesday 2 August 2022, was particularly
well attended, with standing room only, and explored how scientific
research can inform environmental policy.

In an address recorded specially for the World Congress of Soil Science
2022, screened at the Closing Ceremony, His Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales expounded on the importance of healthy soil and the role of science
in understanding its function and in supporting industry and policy towards
effective management practices.

New publications Modeling Processes and Their Interactions in Cropping
Systems: Challenges for the 21st Century

Edited by Lajpat R. Ahuja, Kurt C. Kersebaum, Ole Wendroth. Published by
American Society of Agronomy, Inc. / Crop Science Society of America, Inc.
/ Soil Science Society of America, Inc., 27 June 2022. Book Series:
Advances in Agricultural Systems Modeling. 402 pages, Print ISBN:
9780891183853 |Online ISBN: 9780891183860 |DOI: 10.1002/9780891183860.
Price e-book 156 USD, hardcover 195 USD.

In Modeling Processes and Their Interactions in Cropping Systems:
Challenges for the 21st Century, a team of distinguished researchers
delivers a comprehensive and up-to-date scientific textbook devoted to
teaching the modeling of soil-plant-climate-management processes at the
upper undergraduate and graduate levels. The book emphasizes the new
opportunities and paradigms available to modern lab and field researchers
and aims to improve their understanding and quantification of individual
processes and their interactions. The book helps readers quantify field
research results in terms of the fundamental theory and concepts broadly
generalizable beyond specific sites, as well as predict experimental
results from knowledge of the fundamental factors that determine the
environment and plant growth in different climates.

Vanadium in Soils and Plants

Edited By Jörg Rinklebe. Published August 17, 2022 by CRC Press, 296 pages,
79 B/W illustrations, hardback ISBN 9781032002293, eBook ISBN
9781003173274. Price hardback 99.99 GBP, eBook 89.99 GBP.

Vanadium is an essential element for humans and animals. The toxicity of
vanadium at higher concentrations could be a global environmental concern
and a significant issue for both environmental protection and economic
benefits. The relevance of anthropogenic vanadium in the environment has
increased significantly in recent years due to an increased demand for
vanadium in high-temperature industrial activities. This book summarizes
vanadium’s current research and explains its behavior and mobilization in
the environment, especially in soils, sediments, water and plants. Through
case studies from various countries, it discusses critical limits set and
risk assessment approaches and remediation approaches of
vanadium-contaminated soils.

Soil Biology in Tropical Ecosystems

By Tancredo Souza. Springer, 2022. 139 pages, 2 b/w illustrations, 29
illustrations in colour. Hardcover ISBN 978-3-031-00948-8, eBook ISBN
978-3-031-00949-5, DOI https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-00949-5. Price
Hardcover 98.99 EUR, eBook 74.98 EUR.

This textbook explores the complex nature of soil biological communities
and their environments, and covers deserts, rainforests, seasonal tropical
forests, dry deciduous forests, and island environments in the tropical
zone. It provides essential information on soil biology concepts,
ecological processes, plant-soil feedback, trophic structure, and land use
effects on soil’s biological properties. The book also offers an updated
approach to soil biota and microbiota and their interactions with plants
that regulate the structures and functions of tropical ecosystems.
Uniquely, it addresses island environments and natural disasters, shedding
new light on soil organisms recovering tropical ecosystem functions.
Further topics include ecological processes, plant-soil interactions,
trophic communities, molecular approaches, and land use, making the book a
valuable asset for students, educators and researchers engaged in the
Environmental Sciences, Biodiversity and Conservation, Soil Ecology, Soil
Biology, Ecology, Zoology, and Soil Biota Classification using classical
and molecular tools.
