The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) is closely tied to the Crop Science Society and the American Society of Agronomy and are housed in the same headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin. SSSA is an international scientific society that fosters the transfer of knowledge and expertise for the purpose of advancing the field of soil science and sustaining soils around the globe. SSSA provides information about soils in relation to crop production, eco-system viability and sustainability, bio-mediation, waste management and offers expert consultation, periodicals and journal articles to members.

How did the forest develop at the Hailuogou glacier area?

Since the mid-19th century, increasing temperatures have resulted in the retreat of mountain glaciers on all continents. When glaciers retreat, they leave "glacial debris." This debris serves as new substrate for soil and ...

Can a moss help clean up waterways?

Hydrocarbons from our cars, oil spills and industrial contamination can get into our waterways by many paths. Researchers recently studied if a common "willow moss" could work to soak up these hydrocarbons, and clean up waterways.

Solution blooming for fracking spills?

North Dakota's oil boom can have a salty side-effect. Wastewater from oil drilling and hydraulic fracturing – or fracking – is often laden with salts and can spill, contaminating soils. In 2014, for example, 42 such brine ...

Illinois Soil Nitrogen Test measures microbial nitrogen

Contrary to the prevailing view, cereal crops derive the majority of their nitrogen from the soil, not fertilizer. Soils differ considerably in microbial activities that determine nitrogen-supplying power, and these differences ...

Impact of floods on soils

A recent study conducted in the Midwestern United States examined the effects of harsh wet conditions on both cultivated and uncultivated soils, vastly advancing the knowledge of water's effects on aggregation. Soil aggregation ...

Nitrate stimulates greenhouse gas production in small streams

Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas that has been accumulating in the atmosphere since the industrial revolution. It is well known that fertilizer can stimulate nitrous oxide production in soils, but less is known about ...
