A multifaceted project is building an international community of scientists who studies soil change over time scales of decades at long-term soil experiments. Such experiments are found on all continents and are critical to future soil management and sustainability. Contributing to the overall goal of networking LTSEs will be a 2007 international conference to be held at Duke University, to discuss research results and interpretations from LTSEs. Scientists will be sought who can speak about a diversity of soil types that support a variety of land management systems. We will select speakers who can discuss results based on contemporary techniques in molecular biology, isotope biogeochemistry, and organic and mineral-surface chemistry.
