From Soil to Soul: A Welcome Note

The beautiful land of China is the home for the survival and development of China. It has cultivated the splendid Chinese civilization for over 5000 years and created the noble pursuit for the harmony between nature and mankind. In this wonder land, different types of soil, plateaus, mountains, hills, plains, and basins, bring beautiful sceneries that beyond our imagination, on the top of mountains, in the deep forests, on the vast grasslands, and in the quiet wetlands.  

We will provide a variety of field trips for soil scientists to explore the diverse soils in China, such as the red soil in South China, paddy soil in East China, black soil in Northeast China, as well as the desert and loess soil in Northwest China. We warmly welcome worldwide scientists in soil science to Nanjing, China.
