Awards in Soil Micromorphology<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Young Micromorphology Publication Awards (YMPA) 2021<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Commission 1.1 – Soil Morphology and Micromorphology will award the Young Micromorphologist’s Publication Award every 2 years: at each International Working Meeting on Soil Micromorphology, and at each World Congress of Soil Science. Considering that the planned IWMSM2020 meeting in Krakow has been postponed to 2021 due to the COVID19 emergency, the award has also been postponed accordingly. It is planned to have two close YMPA awards (IWMSM-2021 and WCSS-2022).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of this award is to encourage and promote the use of soil micromorphology by young scientists. The award will be given to one, or more, young scientist who has published research in the preceding 4 years, that is an outstanding contribution to the principles, methodology, or application of micromorphology. The author must be less than 35 years old at the time of acceptance of the publication, and he\/she must be the first author. The paper must be published in an international journal with wide distribution, but not necessarily a scientific journal. The award is not restricted to papers published in the English language only.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Award Committee is composed of Fabio Scarciglia, Irina Kovda, Peter K\u00fchn and Chair (Fabio Terribile) and Vice-chair (Richard Heck) of Commission 1.1.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Applicants should submit the following: (1) a pdf file of the paper(s) to be considered for the award, (2) proof of age for eligibility (ex: photocopy of ID or other document with birthdate), and (3) a cover letter explaining why they should be considered for this award.

Storing carbon in the prairie grass<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Scientists say the world needs to cut greenhouse gas emissions nearly in half by mid-century to avert catastrophic effects from global warming. Carbon dioxide is the most prevalent greenhouse gas; the amount in the atmosphere has been rising as humans burn fossil fuels. Not only must the world stop releasing more carbon, some CO2 already in the air also must be removed, experts say. That\u2019s where the prairie comes in.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Carbon mitigation potential and radiative agricultural land management<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To reach the Paris climate targets, the mitigation capacity needs to be maximized across all components of the Earth system, especially land. Mitigation actions through land management, such as cover crops in agricultural soils, are often evaluated in terms of their carbon sequestration potential, while radiative forcing related to surface albedo changes is often ignored. The aim of this study was to assess the mitigation potential of cover crops, both as changes in biogenic greenhouse gas fluxes (CO2 and N2O) and albedo-driven radiative forcing at the top of the atmosphere. To achieve this, we have integrated a biogeochemistry model framework running on approximately 8,000 locations across the European Union with detailed soil data, supplemented with time series of albedo measurements derived from satellite remote sensing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Projections of Global soil erosion by water (2015-2070)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We use the latest projections of climate and land use change to assess potential global soil erosion rates by water to address policy questions. Three alternative (2.6, 4.5, and 8.5) RCP scenarios were used and resulted in a potential increase of global soil erosion rate by 30-66% by 2070. The Global South is estimated to bear the brunt of the erosion. Rich countries with high fertiliser use and moderate climates can expect erosion at a lower rate. Current conservation agriculture practices will only reduce the projected soil erosion rate by 5%. The study has published recently in PNAS. Data are available in ESDAC.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Global phosphorus losses due to soil erosion<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The world\u2019s food production depends directly on phosphorus. We combine spatially distributed global soil erosion estimates (only considering sheet and rill erosion by water) with spatially distributed global P content for cropland soils to assess global soil P loss. The world\u2019s soils are currently being depleted in P in spite of high chemical fertilizer input. Africa, South America and Eastern Europe have the highest P depletion rates. Agricultural soils worldwide will be depleted by between 4\u201319 kg ha\u22121 yr\u22121, with average losses of P due to erosion by water contributing over 50% of total P losses. The study has published in Nature Communications and the data are available in ESDAC.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainable soil management within the European Green Deal<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The new European Green Deal has the ambition to make the European Union the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The European Commission presented an ambitious package of measures within the Biodiversity Strategy 2030, the Farm to Fork and the European Climate Law including actions to protect our soils. The Farm to Fork strategy addresses soil pollution with 50% reduction in use of chemical pesticides by 2030 and aims 20% reduction in fertilizer use plus a decrease of nutrient losses by at least 50%. The Biodiversity Strategy has the ambition to set a minimum of 30% of the EU\u2019s land area as protected areas, limit urban sprawl, reduce the pesticides risk, bring back at least 10% of agricultural area under high-diversity landscape features, put forward the 25% of the EU\u2019s agricultural land as organically farmed, progress in the remediation of contaminated sites, reduce land degradation and plant more than three billion new trees. The maintenance of wetlands and the enhancement of soil organic carbon are also addressed in the European Climate Law.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pushing soil animals to the extreme<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ecologists can answer a lot of the scientific questions that they grapple with about organisms from \u2018extreme\u2019 environments where plants, animals, or microbes barely cling on to life. A team of scientists from France, Hungary and Ireland recently had an opportunity to study a group of worms called Enchytraeidae, or potworms, in soils of a unique long-term experiment that has created extreme chemical soil conditions. Located in the world-famous \u2018Palace of Versailles\u2019 outside Paris, this experiment consists of small plots of land that have been receiving different fertilizers each year since 1928 but have no plants or crops whatsoever.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In this study scientists found 13 different species of enchytraeid worms, which is remarkable given the fact that no plants grow on these plots, and thus the soils do not receive any carbon or nutrient inputs (through roots or as litter) from plants.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil and Root Damage in Forestry<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Reducing the Impact of Forest Mechanization<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By Iwan Wasterlund. 1st edition published 20 August 2020 by Elsevier, 200 pages, ISBN: 9780128220702, eBook ISBN: 9780128220733, price paperback USD 153.00, eBook USD 153.00, print & ebook bundle USD 180.00<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Agroforestry has significantly impacted our forests, but an often-overlooked issue is the effect of harvesting on soils and root systems. Soil and Root Damage in Forestry explains how soil and roots might be damaged through logging activities or silvicultural activities, how resulting root diseases impact the root and soil systems, and the impacts of chemical applications on the soil and root system. This book goes beyond the \u2018why\u2019 to also provide methods to reduce the impacts of machines on soils and offers solutions to minimize the impacts of machines on soils. Soil and Root Damage in Forestry serves as a valuable resource not only for those already working in soil science and forest ecology, but also provides insights for advanced students seeking an entrance to the “hidden half” of the planet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Doctors Global Programme \u2013 A farmer-to-farmer training programme<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By FAO\/GSP, published in 2020 in Rome, Italy. 105 pages, ISBN: 978-92-5-131195-0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Soil Doctors programme is developed under the umbrella of the Global Soil Partnership and promotes the establishment of a farmer-to-farmer training system. The Soil Doctors Global Programme aims to build the capacity of smallholder farmers on the practice of sustainable soil management and, by doing so, support governmental agencies and organizations working on agricultural extension at the field level (promoting broader impact and a reduction of costs). Trainings will also rely on the establishment of demonstration farms and experimental fields by the Soil Doctors, which might attract the interest of research institutes and universities involved in the programme.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The programme also aims to educate farmers on soil science principles for practices of sustainable soil management and aims to achieve this by providing them with a set of tools composed of some educational materials and a soil testing methods (STM) manual for preliminary soil analysis. The STM is a collection of locally relevant, and easy to use, soil analyses procedures that would be selected by each area where the program is implemented.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
