Abstract
Summarizing “global soil inventory” through published books
of World Soil Book Series of A. Hartemink there are recognizable
two tendencies in global Soil sciences. One of them, just respecting
importance of environment - regulatory (“non - food”) functions of
soil, like soil scientists of Europe and developed countries expect
to see the future of Soil science within environmental sciences.
They insist on soil monitoring and “green energy” and more or less
accept soil (land) as essential resource of (environmentally, socially
economically) sustainable production of biofuels. The other one,
productive function of soil - (food) oriented, see Soil science within
agriculture and forestry, insisting on ever-higher yields of growing
crops and forest.
