COVID-19: The World is One Family<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Quarterly Viewpoint from the desk of Rattan Lal, Past President, International Union of Soil Sciences<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The global tragedy of COVID-19 necessitates a paradigm shift in the thinking of the scientific community towards addressing future research and education priorities. The general education curricula, at all levels (from primary school to the college and graduate level), must be revisited to enhance focus on the \u201cOne Health\u201d concept.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

IUSS Commission 2.5 – signature access to scientific publications<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Commission 2.5 would like to draw your attention to this petition, initiated by French scientists and open to all. Many scientific publications directly related to Covid-19 and pandemics have been made freely available, however other important work may not be available. This gesture highlights, independently of the Covid-19 risk, the dependence of scientists on the major scientific publishing houses and their profit margins in a context of decreasing finance throughout the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You are kindly invited to read this petition, and sign if you feel concerned by the message: Open the bibliographic databases now! The current COVID-19 crisis requires us to change our habits in order to maintain our activities in a difficult situation. Our petition (<\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/freeaccesstoscience.wesign.it\/en<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>) calls for free access to a tool crucial for understanding the current situation and thinking about the future: the large bibliographic databases, access to which is usually by subscription only. By signing this petition, you will allow us to ask publishers to open their databases transiently<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Global soil library will help us better know the living skin of planet Earth<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A global initiative led by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization has launched the Soil Spectral Calibration Library. The University of Sydney is a founding member of the project.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soils are the basis of life and while humanity is building extensive genomic libraries there is no comprehensive library of the soils upon which much of life on Earth relies. That gap in human knowledge is being filled with the launch of a global system of universal standards to measure and classify soils across the planet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rootin\u2019, poopin\u2019 African elephants help keep soil fertile<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The iconic wildlife of the African savanna\u2014zebras, gazelles, and other grazers\u2014has for decades been under pressure from some unnatural rivals. Ranchers\u2019 cattle compete with local wildlife for food and water, and they starve much of the soil of nutrients. But a new study suggests wildlife and cattle can coexist\u2014if elephants remain to help distribute nutrients into the soil, via their poop and their habit of knocking over trees. Cattle ranching, which has been intensifying across the savanna, can lead to overgrazing, eroding and impoverishing the soil and helping shrubs invade the grasslands. To investigate the ecological effects of ranching\u2014and the role of elephants in the ecosystem\u2014scientists launched a long-term experiment in 1995 at the Mpala Research Centre in central Kenya.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Study shows universally positive effect of cover crops on soil microbiome<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Only a fraction of conventional row crop farmers grow cover crops after harvest, but a new global analysis from the University of Illinois shows the practice can boost soil microbial abundance by 27%. The result adds to cover crops\u2019 reputation for nitrogen loss reduction, weed suppression, erosion control, and more. Although soil microbial abundance is less easily observed, it is a hugely important metric in estimating soil health. A new paper looks for universal patterns among dozens of individual studies.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Scientists seek to establish community-driven metadata standards for microbiomes research<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In agricultural systems, the proliferation of research on plant and soil microbiomes has been coupled with excitement for the potential that microbiome data may have for the development of novel, sustainable, and effective crop management strategies. While this is an exciting development, as the collective body of microbiome data for diverse crops grows, the lack of consistency in recording data makes it harder for the data to be utilized across research projects. In a recent article published in Phytobiomes Journal, researchers discuss the need for agriculture-specific metadata standards for microbiome research.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Present and Future: Five Years into the International Decade of Soils 2015 – 2024<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As we approach the halfway point in the International Decade of Soils in 2020 (ISC called it International Decade of Soil Health), we revisit the critical roles that soil plays in realizing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The International Science Council spoke to Rattan Lal, Distinguished University Professor of Soil Science and Director of the Carbon Management and Sequestration Center at Ohio State University. He is also Past President of International Union of Soil Sciences.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSoil health and its sustainable management is critically important in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, and specifically SDG #2 (Zero Hunger), SDG #13 (Climate Action) and SDG #15 (Life on Land),\u201d said Lal. \u201cFurthermore, the health of soil, plants, animals, people and the environment are one and indivisible. Restoration and judicious management of soil health is critical to addressing undernourishment of 821 million people (mostly in South Asia and Sub Saharan Africa) and 800 million malnourished people from around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Love the smell of wet earth after rain? So do these strange creatures<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Humans aren\u2019t the only ones to appreciate the earthy aroma after an April rain shower. That smell\u2014known as petrichor\u2014stems from microscopic streptomycete bacteria in the soil that produce a compound called geosmin, The Times reports. Although geosmin can be toxic to some species, others, such as the insect-like springtail, associate it with a meal. A recent study published this week in Nature Microbiology used tiny electrodes to monitor the response of springtails\u2019 sensitive antennae to the scent of geosmin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deadline abstract submission: September 30, 2020<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) highlighted that Europe has a reference legislation for safeguarding water and air quality and that no legislation, until now, concerns soil quality. Moreover, in the last ten years the areas at desertification risk have increased by approximately 1.8 million hectares.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of the workshop is to provide methodologies, tools and data to land managers and administrators aiming at a sustainable management and conservation of the soil, a primary and limited resource. Moreover the workshop wishes to highlights that a soil kept in “good health”, through good management practices, brings multiple benefits for the whole ecosystem, not only for agriculture and forest lands but also, to assure water quality and regulation, to preserve the hydrogeological stability of the territory and for landscape protection and enhancement.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The last day of the workshop will be dedicated to the WSD celebration.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beneficial Microbes for Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Management<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By Jeyabalan Sangeetha, Devarajan Thangadurai, Saher Islam. Published March 27, 2020 by Apple Academic Press, 396 pages, ISBN 9780429284137, price hardcover GBP 104.80, eBook GBP 85.15.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Microbes are the most abundant organisms in the biosphere and regulate many critical elemental and biogeochemical phenomena. Because microbes are the key players in the carbon cycle and in related biological reactions, microbial ecology is a vital research area for understanding the contribution of the biosphere in global warming and the response of the natural environment to climate variations. The beneficial uses of microbes have enabled constructive and cost-effective responses that have not been possible through physical or chemical methods. This new volume reviews the multifaceted interactions among microbes, ecosystems, and their pivotal role in maintaining a more balanced environment, in order to help facilitate living organisms coexisting with the natural environment. With extensive references, tables, and illustrations, this book provides valuable information on microbial utilization for environmental sustainability and provides fascinating insights into microbial diversity.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The need for more food to sustain the growing human population has led to the conversion of forests to croplands. Excessive input of chemical fertilizers has exerted pressure on soil resulting in the deterioration of its quality and productive potential. The changing environmental conditions and climatic transformations have also adversely affected the properties of soil. Realizing the negative effects of chemical fertilizers on soil quality, various organic substances, waste materials and other substances were explored for their potential to be used as soil supplements. This book provides detailed information about various inorganic, organic, biological and other non-conventional soil supplements with emphasis to the role they play in maintaining soil fertility and increasing agricultural productivity. The soil supplements contribute a lot in restoring the productive potential of soil to a great extent. Each soil supplement possesses certain advantages and limitations in restoring the fertility of soil. Integrated fertilizer treatment proves beneficial in restoring soil fertility for various types of soils. The book provides latest information on the topic and describes advances in soil science.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
