Lay Description<\/h2>\n

Division 4 is more generalized and entails the transfer and outreach of our knowledge base<\/strong> to segments of our society where soils and soil science are frequently misunderstood or sometimes under appreciated. It takes the soils information generated in the other three divisions along with developing new scientific information and addresses public literacy in soil science, education, international conventions, consequences of human activities on soil ecosystems, policy issues, food security, history of the discipline, etc.<\/p>\n

This division might be considered the \u201ccapstone\u201d<\/strong> division because it must integrate our scientific body of knowledge so scientists, policy makers, and those specialists remote to soil science may become more informed about the utility of this most essential natural resource at the Earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

It is the scientific entity that interacts well beyond traditional bounds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
