土壤对社会的重要性在过去十年中得到了越来越多的认可，并有可能为大多数联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）做出贡献。随着对粮食、水和能源的需求空前增长，迫切需要全球努力应对气候变化和土地退化的挑战，同时保护土壤这一自然资源。在本文中，我们确定了土壤科学在过去十年中的贡献，以解决我们对重大环境挑战的知识差距：气候变化，粮食安全，水安全，城市发展，生态系统功能和生物多样性。继续解决土壤科学的知识差距对于实现可持续发展目标至关重要。然而，由于时间和预算有限，确定有效的工作方法，确保所开展的研究产生真实的世界影响也是相关的。在这里，我们为土壤科学的未来十年提出了三个战略，包括更大程度地实施政策研究，跨学科合作伙伴关系，以评估土壤和其他环境领域之间的功能权衡和协同作用，以及整合监测和建模方法，以确保基于土壤的政策能够承受未来的不确定性。
The importance of soils to society has gained increasing recognition over the past decade, with the potential to contribute to most of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With unprecedented and growing demands for food, water and energy, there is an urgent need for a global effort to address the challenges of climate change and land degradation, whilst protecting soil as a natural resource. In this paper, we identify the contribution of soil science over the past decade to addressing gaps in our knowledge regarding major environmental challenges: climate change, food security, water security, urban development, and ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. Continuing to address knowledge gaps in soil science is essential for the achievement of the SDGs. However, with limited time and budget, it is also pertinent to identify effective methods of working that ensure the research carried out leads to real‐world impact. Here, we suggest three strategies for the next decade of soil science, comprising a greater implementation of research into policy, interdisciplinary partnerships to evaluate function trade‐offs and synergies between soils and other environmental domains, and integrating monitoring and modelling methods to ensure soil‐based policies can withstand the uncertainties of the future.
