Cross-cultural and international scientific cooperation is essential as we face global issues of climate change, food 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. To promote such collaboration and communication in soil science, the Joint Working Group of Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) and Soil Science Society of China (SSSC) is pleased to announce the first scientific meeting jointly sponsored by the two societies.
All are invited to attend the webinar!
