... Many of the research topics and issues raised at the workshop �������������������������������������������������������������� will be important in the future. Among them are the following: • Valuing soil as an ecosystem service • Translating research across both temporal and spatial scales • Sharing and using data already available for other purposes in soil science research • Incorporating existing and new technologies from other disciplines to study soil systems • Collaborating across disciplines • Translating soil science research into information for stakeholders and end users (e.g., policy makers, regulators, farmers, land developers, and engineers)

... Several networks mentioned during the workshop -- including, for example, the National Ecological Observatory Network and the Critical Zone Exploration Network -- are working across disciplines on research issues of interest to soil scientists. Soil scientists need to continue to find ways to link their basic research to broader research efforts, in an effort both to bring soil science research to the forefront and to raise awareness in the broader scientific community as to what soil science research can offer to the larger scientific endeavor.
