IUSS News Personal histories videos of leading senior soil scientists
uploaded

As part of a suite of projects established to help commemorate the
Centenary of the IUSS in May 2024, the IUSS Executive Committee with the
support of the National Soil Science Societies is creating a Collection of
Personal Histories of leading senior soil scientists, who contributed to
the development of the former International Soil Science Society (ISSS) and
the transition to the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS).

All the videos regarding the personal histories received so far have been
uploaded in an own playlist on the IUSS YouTube channel: *Personal
Histories - YouTube
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi-8j0XEXF7kv57Xt7hRp7ObjOE1JO7pi>*

If further National Soil Science Societies would like to provide such
videos of interviews with leading senior soil scientists, please contact
the IUSS Secretariat for further details at *[log in to unmask]

News from national soil science societies Dokuchaev Soil Science Society

[image: Dokuchaev Soil Science Society]

The VIII Congress of the Dokuchaev Soil Science Society was held on the
10-14th of August 2022 in Syktyvkar, Komi Republic, Russian Federation.
Initially, it was planned to be held in 2020 but the date was shifted
because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The work of the Congress took place in a hybrid format: participants and
delegates of the congress who could not come to Syktyvkar to take part in
person were given the opportunity to make reports and listen to their
colleagues online. The congress programme included young scientists’ soil
judging competition, a plenary session, work of seven symposiums, two round
tables, mid-congress and post-congress scientific field excursions. The
subjects of the reports touched upon all topical issues of soil and
environmental research, climate change and the state of the biosphere,
agro-economic assessment of soils, degradation and restoration of soil
cover.

The new Central Council of the society was elected. The Congress expressed
many thanks to Prof. Sergey Shoba for his many years of activity as the
President of the Dokuchaev SSS. The new President was elected – Prof. Pavel
Krasilnikov.

The next IX Congress of the Dokuchaev Soil Science Society will be held in
2024 in Kazan, Tatarstan Republic, Russian Federation.

What is a soil carbon credit?

Agriculture is essential to ensuring global food security. However, the
agricultural industry is also one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas
emissions. Some agricultural practices can release carbon dioxide, nitrous
oxide and methane into the atmosphere. Incentivizing climate-smart farming
practices by creating “soil carbon credits” is one way to reduce the impact
of agriculture on the environment.

BONARES Conference 2023 - Soil as a Sustainable Resource

15-17 May 2023

Berlin, Germany

A sustainable bioeconomy requires integration of soil productivity with a
wide range of other soil functions including nutrient cycling, carbon
storage, water retention and filtering as well as being the habitat of a
myriad of organisms and enabling their activities. The conference will
bring together researchers from various disciplines related to soil and
plant sciences and agronomy to discuss strategies towards a
(multi)functionality of soil ecosystems taking also constraints of climate
and global change into account. The conference aims at providing solutions
for a sustainable soil management including climate change adaptation,
which requires an understanding of soils at a systemic level and to assess
their value in a socio-economic framework. We are looking forward to
welcome interested scientists as well as stakeholders in the field of soil
management for inspiring discussions.

We welcome contributions (oral presentations and posters) to the following
topics:

1. Impact of agriculture and cropping systems on soil functions
2. Carbon and nutrient cycling in soils: Processes and interactions in a
changing world
3. Soil biomes and multifunctionality of soils
4. Soil degradation and sustainable soil management in agricultural
landscapes
5. Model-based prediction of the dynamics of soil functions
6. Using soil sensing technologies for soil mapping, modelling and decision
making in agriculture
7. Soils as a key to climate change mitigation: private and public
governance instruments to unlock the potential
8. Data challenges and solutions

28th IUGG General Assembly

11-20 July 2023 Berlin, Germany

This General Assembly is a special opportunity for participants from around
the world to come together and discuss the full range of geodetic and
geophysical themes, and further enhance the important interdisciplinary
collaboration for a better understanding of our Earth System. IUGG2023 will
provide a platform for personal meetings, exchange of ideas and developing
new concepts for international science collaboration, all of which have
suffered a setback during this pandemic crisis. IUGG2023 will help to
create a new spirit to address pressing large societal challenges such as
global environmental change and natural hazards and to stimulate novel
geoscience research. Abstract Submission Deadline: 14 February 2023

Ecology

By David C. Coleman. Published by Bilbo Books end September 2022. 194
pages, ISBN-10: 1736459899, ISBN-13: 978-1736459898; price softcover USD

David Coleman is the David Attenborough of the Rhizosphere, exploring the
upper layer of the ground on which we tread, the ground all of us tread.
His expertise has taken him, quite literally, around the world, from New
Mexico to New Zealand, from Stockholm to Saskatchewan. Root with him in the
soil of his life, ride the rails, enjoy the experiences of a soil pioneer
and heed his call for responsible stewardship of the planet we all occupy.

softcover: EUR 49.49.

This book addresses the impact of soil and water quality on food
production, and explores soil and water conservation measures to be applied
at farm level for agricultural sustainability. Divided into 8 chapters, the
book covers topics such as soil properties responsible for soil loss, the
impact of climate change, water and biological factors on soil chemistry,
the effect of soil on the quality of water including sustaining
aquaculture productivity and environment of wetlands, soil and water
qualities necessary for irrigation, management of soil organic carbon, and
the importance of soil moisture conservation including agroforestry for
food production. Particular attention is given to the management of soil
organic carbon in sustainable crop cultivation as well as reducing soil
erosion and nutrient loss from soil from cultivated lands.

Problem Soils - Constraints and Management

By K C Manorama Thampatti. Published by CRC Press, November 24, 2022, 172
Pages 3 B/W Illustrations, ISBN 9781032388977, price hardback 63.00 GBP.

This is a unique book that deals with the problem soils, their constraints
and management in the Indian context. The book starts with the introduction
on problem soils and the classification of these soils are included there
under. In India, there is wide spread occurrence of soils with different
types of constraints for crop production. Such soils are popularly called
as “Problem Soils”. Cultivation in these soils is not so easy as several
problems have to be tackled during cultivation. It may be either soil
droughtiness or acidity or salinity etc. An attempt has been made in this
book to cover most of the problematic soils in India. The classification of
problem soils has been done based on the limitations they possess and the
most dominant limitation is taken into consideration for grouping it under
a particular class. Here five broader classes have been identified viz.,
soils with climatic problems; soils with physical problems; soils with
chemical problems; soils with biological problems and soils with problems
due to anthropogenic reasons.

This book provides an authoritative overview of emerging pollutants in
sewage sludge and soils. It traces the latest research and new trends on
the characterization, removal and treatment of such pollutants in urban and
industrial sewage sludge and soils. The book covers topics such as
antibiotic resistance, fate and environmental impact of contaminants of
emerging concern, environmental transmission of human pathogenic viruses
and their effect on soil, and the repercussion of various emerging
pollutants on biodiversity. It also offers a case study of the
epidemiology-based surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater and sludge.
