Living in the Soil

A snail, a worm and a group of young people are some of the characters who star in ‘Living in the Soil,’ a comic produced in the context of ‘The International Year of Soils’ that aims to raise awareness about the most significant environmental and social issues related to soil and its need for protection. Through some 60 sketches, the authors report various aspects of the characteristics, functions and implications related to the use of this non-renewable resource. It reflects both the view of humans and the living organisms that inhabit soil. The comic, which is conceived as an educational resource, is aimed both at children and the general public and for students at all educational levels.
Target Audience: Schools, All

Soil of the Year 2015 – Planosol or Stagnosol

Surface water gley soils form where precipitation water drains away into the underground strongly delayed only. Beneath a well permeable layer that is waterlogged after rainfall, there is a dense layer with low permeability. In the German soil classification, most soils affected by stagnating water belong to the Pseudogleys, those with an extended wet phase to the Stagnogleys. The international classification allocates these soils primarily to the Planosols and Stagnosols.

The Colours of the Earth

A movie about soil. Nature affords different kinds of rocks, plants, animals and even soils. The latter being different in colour, depth, fertility, vary from place to place. Earth covers the terrestrial surface, it allows vegetables, animals and human beings to grow, it thus represents one of the most precious assets of humanity. This film is an invitation to learn more about the study of soil - pedology - highlighting its work practices and showing some of its characteristic landscapes. A simple and direct language, meant to make especially young people aware, explains to us all the importance of the soil as a resource which deserves to be known, protected and respected. The film participated to the First International Earth Science Film Festival (Firenze, 20-28 agosto 2004) and it has been selected for the environmental film festival 7° Cinemambiente (Torino, 22-29 ottobre 2004).

Walk-in soil map on "the world's arable land and their properties"

The University of Applied Scienes Osnabrück, section "General Soil Science and Geology” created in cooperation with the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources Hannover a walk-in soil maps with information about the major agricultural soils of the Americas, Central and Eastern Europe. Center of the respective installations were 3 floor walk-in maps (each 4 x 4 m - see figure) with the soil type distribution according to the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB). The soil maps include 42 information boards with information on the farmland in the languages German, English and Russian.

Media Catalogue for the Introduction of Soil-related Topics in School Teaching

Soils are one of the classic environmental media but do not by far receive the high regard and social attention that they deserve. This is not least reflected in the often inadequate way in which the subject is dealt with in class at schools and vocational colleges. Recently, however, a positive new trend is becoming apparent. Those responsible for teaching are increasingly endeavoring to include soils more frequently into the natural sciences and environmental classes at school. These efforts, however, often reach their limits rather quickly. Many of those responsible for teaching do not have the necessary basic know-ledge required to teach the subject. Furthermore, the teachers are often unaware of the existence of suitable materials that can be used in class. For this reason, staff in the subject area of General Soil Science in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Landscape Architecture at the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück have been building up and updating a media catalogue since 1998. This media catalogue gives a brief overview of existing materials related to soil science for use in class, as well as how to use them. Last year, the fourth edition had appeared. In addition to media catalogue it includes material about typical soils of North-Germany and their appearance in the landscape. Here the teachers find pictures of typical soils endued with short and plain explanations, which can be used in class.

DIRT! - the Movie

Following its surprise success at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, "DIRT! the Movie" --narrated by Jaime Lee Curtis-- brings to life the environmental, economic, social and political importance of soil. The film takes the viewer inside the wonders of the soil by telling the story of Earth's most valuable and underappreciated source of fertility--from its miraculous beginning to its crippling degradation. The movie shares the stories of experts from all over the world who study and are able to harness the beauty and power of a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with soil. The opening scenes of the film dive into the wonderment of the soil. Made from the same elements as the stars, plants and animals, and us, "dirt is very much alive." Though, in modern industrial pursuits and clamor for both profit and natural resources, our human connection to and respect for soil has been disrupted. "Drought, climate change, even war are all directly related to the way we are treating dirt."

Just for Kids

Hi Kids! I’m Wilbur, the soil wizard. What’s your name? I live in the soil. What is Soil? Soil is the top layer of the Earth’s surface, like frosting on a birthday cake! It’s the stuff you play on in your backyard. Your grass grows on it. You might call it dirt instead of soil. Soil is made from rocks that are broken up into tiny pieces, as well as dead leaves, roots, twigs, dead bugs, and stuff like that. It also has water and air in it.
Target Audience: Children
