Soils are a critical natural resource that supports a wide range of human activities, but current systems for monitoring soils do not provide an accurate picture of changes in the soil resource over time. A successful dynamic soil information system would overlay important chemical, physical, and biological information about soil samples taken across a wide range of geographies with information on influences on soils, such as land use and land management, soil moisture, and weather. It would be useful for policymakers and land managers as well as for scientists and other practitioners in a wide range of disciplines, including hydrology, climate science, agriculture, and geology. This workshop will examine the level of detail needed by these potential users and envision how data on soils and other parameters can be most effectively collected, combined, and curated over time.
