In some areas of the Earth we have approached near irreversible soil conditions that may threaten the existence of future generations. Understanding the long-term implications of decreased soil quality and addressing the aforementioned challenges will require new information based on advances and breakthroughs in soil science research that need to be effectively communicated to stakeholders, policy makers, and the general public. On December 12-14, 2005, the National Academies convened the Frontiers in Soil Science Research Workshop, summarized in this volume, to identify emerging areas for research in soil science by addressing the interaction of soil science subdisciplines, collaborative research with other disciplines, and the use of new technologies in research. The workshop focused around seven key questions addressing research frontiers for the individual soil science disciplines, and also addressing the need for integration across soil science with other disciplines. 606 $aSoil science$vCongresses 606 $aSoil biology$vCongresses 606 $aSoil physics$vCongresses 606 $aSoil stabilization$vCongresses 606 $aSoil consolidation$vCongresses 615 0$aSoil science 615 0$aSoil biology 615 0$aSoil physics 615 0$aSoil stabilization 615 0$aSoil consolidation 676 $a631.4 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955348303321 996 $aFrontiers in soil science research$94467118 997 $aUNINA
