Frontiers in Soil Science ResearchAbstractThe National Research Council will convene experts in soil science and associated disciplines to identify emerging research opportunities and applications of expected advances in soil science, particularly in the integration of biological, ecological, geological, chemical, and information technology sciences. The experts will address the interaction of classic soil science sub-disciplines - chemistry, physics, biology, mineralogy, and pedology - within the context of rapid advances in related scientific disciplines, and in consideration of emerging environmental and political environments. The resulting report will highlight new interdisciplinary opportunities for soil science research and demonstrate to other disciplines how soil science can offer different perspectives on research in areas such as climate change, hydrology, carbon sequestration, and water quality. The project will emphasize how a better understanding of fundamental soil processes can contribute to solutions of many ecological, environmental, engineering, agricultural, and political challenges. It will identify areas in which collaborative research with other disciplines may lead to the discovery of new techniques or understandings of processes, leading to further breakthroughs in science. The organizers will include graduate students in the project and disseminate the resulting report to a broad international audience, expanding the reach of the project and encouraging others to continue the dialogue.

土壤科学研究前沿摘要国家研究理事会将召集土壤科学和相关学科的专家，以确定土壤科学的新兴研究机会和预期进展的应用，特别是在生物，生态，地质，化学和信息技术科学的整合方面。 专家们将在相关科学学科快速发展的背景下，并考虑到新兴的环境和政治环境，讨论经典土壤科学子学科-化学，物理学，生物学，矿物学和土壤学-的相互作用。 由此产生的报告将突出土壤科学研究的新的跨学科机会，并向其他学科展示土壤科学如何在气候变化，水文学，碳封存和水质等领域提供不同的研究视角。该项目将强调如何更好地了解基本土壤过程可以有助于解决许多生态，环境，工程，农业和政治挑战。 它将确定与其他学科合作研究可能导致发现新技术或理解过程的领域，从而导致科学的进一步突破。 组织者将让研究生参与该项目，并向广大国际受众传播由此产生的报告，扩大该项目的影响范围，并鼓励其他人继续对话。
