Soil processes strongly affect the rate of\u00a0element cycling in terrestrial ecosystems but also the mineral and\u00a0organic origin of the bioavailable pools of the elements. The management\u00a0of agro-ecosystems is in a transition stage, given the challenge of\u00a0producing more biomass while increasing the resistance and resilience of \u00a0food systems. A process-based approach of the evolution of soil in a\u00a0constantly varying environment is crucial in a further understanding of \u00a0how soils can sustain the ecological equilibrium of agro-ecosystems.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Everybody is welcome and participation is free!<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Looking forward to meeting you in Brussels.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Bruno Delvaux (UCL) &amp; Jean-Thomas Corn\u00e9lis (ULg)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thematic day 2016 &#8220;Soil processes and biogeochemical cycling of \u00a0elements&#8221; Wednesday 30 November 2016 Dear soil scientists, We are pleased to inform you about the SSSB thematic day 2016 programme.
