Welcome to the German Soil Science Society: We report, connect, and advise in the field of soil sciences
The German Soil Science Society (DBG) consists of around 2,200 members who are involved in the scientific study of soil. Our specialised society is a network of people and institutions involved in the soil sciences and their diverse fields of application. This includes co-operation and knowledge-based advice, professional stimulation and information as well as an open and free exchange of opinions and information. Our aim is also to promote young scientists and to inform broad sections of the population about soils, their functions in the ecosystem and their diverse ecosystem services. We are also committed to maintaining and promoting relationships with scientific societies and associations related to soil and neighbouring disciplines in Switzerland and abroad.
DBG for Peace
English
The German Soil Science Society speaks up for peace and for the right of sovereignty of all states.
In this we stand closely together with scientists of all nationalities, religions and disciplines worldwide.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people in Ukraine who have to fear for their lives, as well as with the brave people in Russia who are risking their own freedom by standing up for peace.
