这期特刊评估了土壤对自然对人类的贡献。在这里，我们结合联合收割机这一评估和先前公布的NCP和联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）之间的关系，以推断土壤对SDG的贡献。我们表明，除了对所有NCP的交付做出积极贡献外，土壤还在支持所有SDG方面发挥作用。在强调土壤在促进可持续发展方面的巨大潜力的同时，人们认识到，管理不善、退化或污染的土壤可能会对NCP和SDG产生负面影响。然而，不能认为这种积极贡献是理所当然的，必须认真管理土壤，使其保持健康，能够发挥这一重要作用。土壤管理的一个优先事项必须包括：（一）对于自然生态系统中的健康土壤，保护它们不被转化和退化;（二）对于管理土壤，管理方式应保护和加强土壤生物多样性、健康和可持续性，并防止退化;（三）对于退化土壤，恢复土壤的全面健康。我们现在有足够的知识来实施最佳管理实践，以保持和改善土壤健康。这一分析表明，如果我们要在2030年前实现可持续发展目标，并在未来几十年更广泛地实现可持续发展，这不仅是可取的，而且是必不可少的。这篇文章是“土壤在为人类提供自然贡献中的作用”主题的一部分。
This special issue provides an assessment of the contribution of soils to Nature's Contributions to People (NCP). Here, we combine this assessment and previously published relationships between NCP and delivery on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to infer contributions of soils to the SDGs. We show that in addition to contributing positively to the delivery of all NCP, soils also have a role in underpinning all SDGs. While highlighting the great potential of soils to contribute to sustainable development, it is recognized that poorly managed, degraded or polluted soils may contribute negatively to both NCP and SDGs. The positive contribution, however, cannot be taken for granted, and soils must be managed carefully to keep them healthy and capable of playing this vital role. A priority for soil management must include: (i) for healthy soils in natural ecosystems, protect them from conversion and degradation; (ii) for managed soils, manage in a way to protect and enhance soil biodiversity, health and sustainability and to prevent degradation; and (iii) for degraded soils, restore to full soil health. We have enough knowledge now to move forward with the implementation of best management practices to maintain and improve soil health. This analysis shows that this is not just desirable, it is essential if we are to meet the SDG targets by 2030 and achieve sustainable development more broadly in the decades to come. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The role of soils in delivering Nature's Contributions to People’.
