IUSS News<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2024, the centenary of the foundation of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) will be celebrated. The IUSS, formerly known as the International Societies of Soil Science (ISSS), was established in Rome in 1924. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To commemorate this centenary, a celebratory event is being organized in Rome in May 2024, along with an extraordinary “World Soil Congress” in Florence. The Congress is organized by the IUSS and SISS, whose presidents are responsible for the event. The event’s website (<\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/centennialiuss2024.org\/<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>) is continuously updated\u00a0 and provides information on the detailed program, including content and objectives, as well as partnerships, sponsorships, and collaborations. The Congress aims to celebrate not only the Soil Sciences but also their interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaborations with other disciplines that interact with the soil resource for the support of humanity and nature.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of the event is to strengthen connections with different disciplines, policymakers, stakeholders, institutions, and associations in order to effectively address society’s needs in agriculture, forestry, environment, urban planning, energy, education, and other social issues.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The organization of the scientific sessions is bottom-up, meaning that proposals are freely accepted from those who wish to develop a topic within the general themes of the Congress, which are: \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil health in achieving sustainable development goals<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil governance<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil in the digital era<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil and humanity<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil sciences in advancing basic knowledge<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil in the circular economy<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Equity, diversity, and inclusivity in soil sciences<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A session proposal should be submitted related to a single general theme, along with defining some keywords. Keywords are used to identify potential similarities between sessions during the program creation. The Scientific Committee may suggest modifications to the proposed sessions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Submission of session proposals is open until the 30<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>th<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>\u00a0of June and can be done through the Congress website at\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/centennialiuss2024.org\/call-for-session\/<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Registration of conveners and co-conveners will only be required upon acceptance of the session.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>

The IUSS at the General Assembly of the International Scientific Union in Paris<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

9-12 May 2023 (<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/council.science\/<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>)<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The President of the IUSS and the President-Elect participated in the General Assembly of the International Scientific Union in Paris from 9-12 May 2023 (<\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/council.science\/<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>). The ISC aims to be the global voice for science and is made up of approximately 200 Scientific Unions and Academies, the majority of which was represented in Paris. This was a great opportunity to learn about other scientific associations and, more importantly, to give voice to soil sciences through a platform to be heard by an audience that often overlooks them. The IUSS is a member of the ISC, having been a part of the ICSU since its inception, and participates in specific groups such as the Geounions and the Standing Committees on Disaster Risk Reduction and Gender Equality in Science. Prof Yongguan Zhu, recipient of the von Liebig award 2022 of the IUSS, is member of the Standing ISC Committee for Science Planning 2022-2025.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The ISC is experiencing strong growth in terms of staff and activities as it strives to be the voice of science for various policymakers, including UN scientific bodies, and is supported by a wide range of funding institutions. However, this growth has necessitated updates to the statutes with regard to membership, voting, and duties, which were among the main issues addressed in the Assembly.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday March 27<\/span><\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>, 2023, the Secretariat of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS), entrusted to the CREA, hosted the study visit of Dr. V. Jeyanny Vijayanathan, senior research officer in the Soil Management Branch at the “Forest Plantation Programme” of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM). The meeting was an opportunity to establish a first contact aimed at the international cooperation with FRIM, to share the expertise on soil carbon modeling techniques and develop scientific collaborations. V. Jeyanny Vijayanathan is a member of the Malaysian Society of Soil Science, affiliated to the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS). The Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) is one of the world’s leading institutions in tropical forestry research. Founded in 1929 as the Forest Research Institute, it has become a body with statutory autonomy, supervised by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Environment and Climate Change (NRECC). During the meeting, an international collaboration agreement between FRIM and CREA was signed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Obituary<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An outstanding scientist, one of the leaders in world soil science, Doctor of Geography, Professor Victor Targulian passed away\u00a0on April 1, 2023, after a long struggle with a deadly disease, at the age of 88. Victor was one of the most famous researchers in the world, who worked a lot and fruitfully in the field of the general theory of soil science. The recognition of this was the awarding of Prof. Targulian by the first Dokuchaev Award of the IUSS in 2006.\u00a0He participated to 9 World Congresses of soil science. He was the Chair of Commission V in the ISSS and then the Chair of Commission 1.3 in the IUSS. He also became Honorary member of the IUSS in 2010. V. Targulian was both one of the leaders among pedologists and at the same time an \u2018ambassador\u2019, enriching the world science by \u2018diamonds\u2019 of Dokuchaev soil science school and enriching national science by up-to-date world experience.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The bright memory of him will forever remain in our hearts!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The WASWAC will be held\u00a0 under the auspices of the IUSS. In relation to intensive agricultural and forestry activity, climate change and other influences, soil and water in the landscape are under increasing pressure and ecosystem services are disrupted. It is therefore necessary to seek and implement measures which will mitigate the negative impact on the components of the environment, especially on soil and water, and will lead to sustainable agricultural and forestry production while also ensuring non-productive functions, in accordance with a number of international and national documents, e.g., the EU Soil Strategy until 2030.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soils are at the center of global concerns including food security, climate change and biodiversity, and they are essential to achieve many of the Sustainable Development Goals. However, anthropic activities have altered the properties and functionality of many soils, especially during the last century, to a point that anthropogenic soils have deserved specific approaches for their study. The SUITMA12 conference will address all aspects of research on classification, properties, functioning and sustainable management of anthropogenic soils.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

New volume of Soil Sequences Atlas (vol. 5)<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The significant spatial variability of soil cover results from the diverse impacts of different soil-forming factors. This book presents pedovariability in the form of a collection of soil sequences typical of particular landscape types. The fifth part of the Soil Sequences Atlas contains description of 73 pedons grouped into 15 chapters each representing a different environmental setting specific to very diverse regions from five continents \u2013 North and South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. The Atlas begins by presenting a pedo-landscapes from Americas \u2013 from Mexico to Peru. Next comes a group of chapters devoted to The Mediterranean Region \u2013 Spain, Italy, Slovenia and Tunisia. The next two chapters concern the soils of Central Europe \u2013 Hungary and Poland. At the end there are examples of steppe (Russian chernozems), semi-arid (Iran) and subtropical soils of Southeast Asia (Thailand). Out of 32 reference groups, as many as 17 are represented in the fifth part of atlas Soil Sequences Atlas.\u00a0 The collected data is intended as a useful educational tool in teaching soil science, and in supporting an understanding of the reasons behind the variability of soil cover, and also as a WRB classification guideline.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Advances in sensor technology for sustainable crop production<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Edited by Dr Craig Lobsey, University of Southern Queensland, Australia and Professor Asim Biswas, University of Guelph, Canada. Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing, 21 February 2023, Hardback ISBN-13: 9781786769770<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With the agricultural sector facing mounting pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, greater emphasis has been placed on improving existing components and practices, such as soil health and biodiversity, which have since emerged as key components to achieving regenerative agriculture. Sensors provide the opportunity to measure crop and soil health at unparalleled scales and resolution. Key developments in sensor technology will help improve our current understanding and optimisation of the complex agricultural systems that make up our global ecosystem.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Advances in sensor technology for sustainable crop production provides a comprehensive review of the wealth of research on key developments in sensor technology to improve monitoring and management of crop health, soil health, weeds and diseases. This collection also reviews advances in proximal and remote sensing techniques to monitor soil health, such as spectroscopy and radiometrics, as well as how sensor technology can be optimised for more targeted irrigation, site-specific nutrient and weed management.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
