Functions provided by soils (inner ring), the Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) provided by soils underpinned by these functions (middle ring) and impacts on the SDGs through the NCP supported by soils (outer ring). Light blue numbered circles in the middle ring show the corresponding soil functions that contribute to the NCP. Grey numbered circles in the outer ring show the corresponding NCP that contribute to the SDGs. Figure taken from Smith et al. (2021).

Happy world soil day! Just aboutβ¦ π± This yearβs theme is βCaring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manageβ which is about using soil data to make the right decisions.
As someone who loves photography, I wanted to share a barley root system forming its own unique soil. Enjoy!
