For the International Year of Soils the IUSS Commissions decided to increasingly raise soil awareness.
Each month one special soil topic will be presented by a different commission.
Each commission will provide knowledge on a special soil topic to inform the public about the importance and diversity of soil.
Additionally each commission will introduce itself and the particular soil topics it is working on.
