Soil systems: Analytical methods for integrating the chemical, biophysical interface in soils.

Course task: Assessment whether a soil system view is critical to own scientific work

EJP SOIL scientists and high-class researchers from across Europe and the US were invited as lecturers to introduce their research on soil system sciences, emerging micro-analytical techniques and to engage in dialogue about the challenges and the future of the soil research discipline.
