Invitation to submit an abstract to the Eurosoil Congress 2025
Fatima Kurbanova
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in a section «Soils in Time from the Past to the Future» at the Eurosoil congress.
Please find the description of the session below.
GT 1. Soil Genesis, Evolution and Classification
Session 1.1. Soils in Time from the Past to the Future.
Conveners: F. Scarciglia (Univ. Calabria, Italy) & F. Kurbanova (Inst. Geography RAS, Russia). From the IUSS 1.6.
https://eurosoil2025.eu/EUROSOIL2025/general-topics
Session under the umbrella of IUSS Commission 1.6 and the INQUA Working Group on Paleopedology
Soil development is driven by soil-forming factors (functional-factorial model) and their transformations over time, initially shaped by climatic shifts and, in the Anthropocene, increasingly influenced by human activities. Understanding contemporary soils and soil cover requires exploring their history — the legacy of past environmental conditions and soil-forming processes.
This session will explore how past soils have shaped the current state of soil systems and the soil mantle, as well as how insights from both past and present soils can help predict future developments to face major challenges posed by climate changes and human impacts.
We invite contributions on evolutionary pathways in soils, including buried and exposed paleosols and protosoils, paleo-features in polygenetic contemporary surface soils, and soil-sedimentary systems such as loess, alluvial, colluvial, tephra, and various anthropogenic and anthropogenically transformed sequences, particularly in archaeological deposits. Investigations devoted to the classification of the listed soils are welcome. Research utilizing mono- and multiproxy soil and soil-sedimentary archives at different spatio-temporal scales, applying both traditional and novel approaches, methods, and techniques, is welcome.
