| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses issues that may potentially have adverse effects on the earth's biosphere in the future and ways soil scientists can address them. Advises soil scientists to broaden their study of the biosphere and design experiments with the future in mind, stating that "such research should be directed, not from the vantage of today, but from that of our successors. If earth's systems are changing and much of our research will reach fruition only after long years, we might best design our experiments with an eye to how our landscapes will be when the findings emerge." Identifies and describes eight areas of concern: "demands for food, water, nutrients, and energy; and challenges of climate change, biodiversity, 'waste' reuse, and global equity." Suggests that in order to address these problems, soil scientists should work with others from different disciplines, recruit more students to the soil science profession, and improve the soil science industry's representation to the public. |
