Abstract/Contents:Overviews several articles discussing "the components of the central triangle of the urban soil ecology framework...[and] concepts that are useful for understanding how urban soils can be used to investigate ecological theories." Discusses different approaches to assessing urban soils, the impacts of urbanization on biodiversity, and potential means of improving soil management in urban ecosystems. Suggests that "to further increase dissemination of knowledge about urban soil ecology and sustainable urban soil management, soil ecologists could engage in public education and outreach programs...This would represent an exciting new dimension for a career in soil ecology."
