Welcome to c/soilscience @ slrpunk.net!
A science based community to discuss and learn all things related to soils.
Notice Board
This is a work in progress, please don't mind the mess.
Subdisciplines of soil science include:
- Soil Taxonomy & mapping
- Soil Fertility & Organic Amendments
- Soil Chemistry & Remediation
- Soil Mineralogy
- Soil Physics
- Soil Biology
These subdisciplines are used by various other disciplines, particularly those related to reclamation, remediation, and agriculture.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- Please use a tag.
- No spam.
- Memes are welcome, but the focus of this community is science-based

General observation with several 'science' communities here on Lemmy: plenty of bare posts dropped on top, but the layers accumulate without stirring (replies), how to nurture more worms and air bubbles to digest the soil?
Fair enough observation. I guess in my case it's creating horizons... Similar to pedaogenesis...
I have this community to serve as a way for people to learn more if they want to dig deeper into soil science. There's a lot of resources on the sidebar that can help you do that, but I don't have the time to essentially put on a course online.
I suppose I could try but I don't want to do something half-assed. thus, try to post a bunch of articles with their abstracts and the post text box so that people can figure out which ones they want to read or not.
