Session Description: A cross-divisional symposium brings together speakers and posters to present an vision of agronomic, ecological and pedologic principles related to contemporary soil systems and management. Most soils are human-natural systems, often changing in unprecedented ways. Presenters will share information from long-term experiments, such as CZOs, LTARs, LTERs, LTSEs, ISCN, and NEON, to discuss issues such as scaling and variability of soil response to human activity. Three questions will be addressed:  1) How are soils responding to human and natural forcings?  2) How do we measure and model soil change?  3) What are implications of soil change for society and the environment?
