Soil diversity is crucial for maintenance of sustainable ecosystems. Soil varies on a continuum from microbial habitats to fields, regions, continents and the globe. This project will take a unifying approach to derive a general spatial scaling theory that will allow us to estimate the likely behaviour of soil properties at all scales. Understanding the scaling behaviour of soil means one can be certain about describing the changes in relationships between soil properties and processes. It will enhance the ability to monitor soil property changes through time, essential for gauging effects of climate change and achieving food security.

土壤多样性对于维持可持续生态系统至关重要。从微生物栖息地到田野、地区、大陆和全球，土壤不断变化。该项目将采用统一的方法来推导通用的空间尺度理论，该理论将使我们能够估计所有尺度下土壤特性的可能行为。了解土壤的结垢行为意味着我们可以确定地描述土壤性质和过程之间关系的变化。它将增强监测土壤特性随时间变化的能力，这对于衡量气候变化的影响和实现粮食安全至关重要。
