本文考虑了注意力在与非人类建立更多伦理关系方面所能做的和不能做的工作。如何与非人类建立更好的关系一直是地理学和相关学科的核心争论。这些问题包括与非人类的伦理关系，这些非人类既遍布并创造了宜居环境，如土壤生物群。学者们特别指出，专注是产生超越人类道德的关键。然而，注意力是如何产生的，以及注意力在产生伦理关系方面能够做什么工作，还没有得到充分的探索。此外，土壤作为关系物质在社会科学中仍未得到充分探索。在本文中，我将讨论这两个重要的学术空白。在调查传统英国农业中对土壤生物群日益增长的关注时，我建议将关怀网络作为概念化和调查关注的伦理潜力的一种方式。随着人们越来越关注土壤退化，以及土壤退化对粮食生产和人类生存构成的危险，土地管理者正在关注土壤生态系统，将其作为照顾其农业业务的一部分。虽然这种关注正在产生一些变革性的影响，但其潜力受到土壤护理网络结构的限制。只要土壤护理主要是农民关心的问题，在引起对土壤生物群需要的伦理方面的关注的潜力就会受到限制。在结论中，我提出了扩大对土壤的关注，并建立一个更广泛和实用的土壤保护伦理关系的方法。我还认为，在地理研究中，我们需要更多地关注系统性、不均匀分布和在多个尺度上运作的注意力和关怀。
This paper considers the work that attentiveness can and can’t do in generating more ethical relations with non-humans. How to build better relations with non-humans has been a central debate in geography and cognate disciplines. These concerns include ethical relations with non-humans who both pervade and create liveable environments, such as soil biota. Scholars have specifically identified attentiveness as key in generating more-than-human ethics. However, how attentiveness may arise, and what work attentiveness may be able to do in generating ethical relations has not been sufficiently explored. Additionally, soils as relational materialities remain underexplored in social sciences. In this paper, I address these two important gaps in scholarship. Investigating the rising concern with soil biota in conventional English farming, I propose the care network as a way of conceptualising and investigating the ethical potential of attentiveness. As concerns grow about soil degradation, and the dangers this is posing to food production and to human survival, land managers are attending to soil ecosystems as part of caring for their farm businesses. While this attentiveness is producing some transformative effects, its potential is limited by the configuration of the soil care network. As long as soil care is configured primarily as a farmers’ concern, the potential of attentiveness in generating ethical regard to the needs of soil biota will be limited. In the conclusions, I suggest ways of expanding attentiveness to soils, and building a wider and practical relational ethic of soil care. I also argue we need more attention in geographic research to attentiveness and care as systemic, unequally distributed, and operating at multiple scales.
