A Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) webinar held in collaboration with the Soil Science Society of China (SSSC)
The Joint Working Group of the Soil Science Society of America and the Soil Science Society of China is pleased to announce the second scientific webinar jointly sponsored by the two societies! Cross-cultural and international scientific cooperation is essential as we face global issues of climate change, food security, water security, and environmental restoration. We have much to learn from scientists around the world, and our efforts will be strengthened and more effective when soil scientists are working together. Let’s get together and talk about Soil Health!
The webinar will feature four invited speakers:
- Limei Zhang, Professor, Research Center for Eco-environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences
“Soil health depends on inherent soil properties in the black soil region in Northeast China“ - Harold M. van Es, Professor of Soil Science, Cornell University, Former President of SSSA
“Factors of soil health and benchmarking approaches” - Yuji Jiang, Professor, Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences
“Community assembly and functional regulation of soil microorganisms and animals in farmland” - Kristen Veum, Research Soil Scientist, USDA-Agricultural Research Service, ASA President-Elect
“The Soil Health Assessment Protocol and Evaluation (SHAPE): A national approach”
