Establishment of Natural Resources Information Network (Soil Net Japan)

日本自然资源信息网（Soil Net Japan）是为了在互联网上相互交换和有效利用土壤数据而建立的。以下由不同机构单独管理的土壤数据库现已在Soil Net Japan上注册，并通过internet连接在一起：1)北海道大学提供的“北海道土壤物理特性数据库”。2)Ibhoku大学提供的“Andosols数据库”。3)东京农业大学提供的“稻田和旱地土壤数据库”。4)东京大学提供的“干旱土壤数据库”5)名古屋大学提供的“农田土壤微生物数据库”6)京都大学提供的“热带水稻土壤数据库”7)京都立大学提供的“地中海土壤数据库”8)九州大学提供的“温室土壤数据库”。基于上述数据库，开展了“不同生态系统中土壤功能的保持、更新和增强”的各种研究，并发表了相关成果。

Natural Resources Information Network (Soil Net Japan) was established for mutual exchange and efficient utilization of soils data on Internet. The following soils databases, which have been Individually managed by the different institutions, are now registered In Soil Net Japan and linked together through Internet.1)"Physical properties database of Hokkaido soils" contributed by Hokkaido University.2)"Andosols database" contributed by 'Ibhoku University3)"Paddy and upland soils database" contributed by 'Tokyo University of Agric. & Tech.4)"Arid soils database" contributed by The University of Tokyo.5)"Microbiological database of farm soils" contributed by Nagoya University.6)"Tropical paddy soils database" contributed by Kyoto University.7)"Mediterranean soils database" contributed by Kyoto Prefectural University.8)"Greenhouse soils database" contributed by Kyushu University.Based on the above mentioned databases, a variety of research on "Conservation, regeneration and enhancement of soils functions in the diverse ecosystems" has been conducted, the outcomes of which have already been published.
