Abstract
By some measures, soil science is doing fine. We have gained a battery of aspiring young scientists, and became more gender-balanced although still not as diverse as we should be (Carter et al., 2021). The number of soil scientific papers and books are growing at an almost exponential rate reflecting increased research and funding and, hopefully, an expanding knowledge base. An enormous amount of soil information is available, and increasingly peer-reviewed publications are freely accessible. Soon there will be no barrier for humanity between what is known and what information can be retrieved about soil.
从某些方面来看,土壤科学进展良好。我们培养了一批有抱负的年轻科学家,并变得更加性别平衡,尽管仍然没有我们应该的那样多样化(Carter et al.,2021)。土壤科学论文和书籍的数量正以几乎指数级的速度增长,这反映了研究和资金的增加,并有望扩大知识库。可以获得大量的土壤信息,越来越多的同行评审出版物可以免费获得。很快,在已知的和可以检索到的关于土壤的信息之间,人类将没有障碍。
