Dear colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce the 6th International Symposium on Soil Organic Matter (SOM2017) to be held from 3–7 September 2017, and which is run jointly with the British Society of Soil Science.
A highlight of next year's meeting is the venue: SOM2017 will take place at the Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, United Kingdom. Rothamsted is the oldest agricultural research station in the world, home to the Long-term and Classical Experiments and Archive, and with a world-renowned legacy of excellence in soil science and SOM research.
The title of the symposium 2017 is "Healthy soils for sustainable agriculture: the role of SOM" and focuses on the following topics:
• SOM and Soil Security
• Modelling SOM: from soil pore to climate change
• Methods 1: Visualising SOM
• Methods 2: Quantifying pools and fluxes of SOM
• Soil Health 1: Biological Interactions
• Soil Health 2: The Role of Decomposition
• SOM as Natural Capital
SOM2017 presents a great opportunity for international scientists to meet and exchange ideas and knowledge and novel technological approaches in this globally important field of research.
We are delighted to announce the following plenary speakers have confirmed their attendance:
• Prof Charles W. Rice (Kansas State University, USA)
