Unclear Abbreviation

Seems that during editing the introduction of the abbreviation "SOM" got lost. This abbreviation suddenly appears without explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.194.100.212 (talk) 09:41, 3 July 2016 (UTC) It was only used twice, so I changed it (FWIW, SOM = Soil Organic material). I'm not an expert, so a pedantic pedologist might point out that the change is not exactly correct.

Revisions

I've revised the overview to include a basic summary of soil substrate composition and biomass process. I'm working on a climate change section and was thinking of collapsing the soil health and management sections. I'd love some feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ktoddbrown (talk • contribs) 04:37, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Tag Cleanup

I removed Oz tag per April 2013 edit which removed the Australian focus, a focus dating back to article creation. I kept the Essay tag, article still needs work in this area. -- Paleorthid (talk) 17:53, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Deletion or Improvement needed

A scientific article that's over 20 years out of date due to a major scientific finding either needs substantial revision or deletion entirely. It's a disservice to the integrity of wikipedia. 137.150.101.232 (talk) 05:30, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

• User 137: You have made an excellent point by posting the warning template and on the article with comment on needing to address glomalin and AMF. Thank you. Paleorthid (talk) 00:52, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

• • Transposed from warning template: Soil Science went through a revolutionary change in 1996 when the Glomalin protein was discovered. In 2002 the USDA published an article titled "Glomalin: Hiding Place for a Third of the World's Stored Soil Carbon"

• • Transposed from warning template: Since then soil scientists have continued to study glomalin and its interactions with soil leading to a fundamental new understanding of soil building
