Abstract:
As current and recent presidents it has been a privilege and a pleasure on behalf of the
British Society of Soil Science to assemble articles for the special anniversary issue of the
European Journal of Soil Science (EJSS) and Soil Use and Management (SUM). The papers
assembled reflect the spectrum of contemporary issues in soil science, which also serve as
a reminder of how our soil science has changed over the years, letting us peer into the past
and reflect on 70 years of the Society. In addition to being a celebration of soil science, this
is also an opportunity to celebrate and reflect upon the British Society of Soil Science itself
and its two journals.
