Improving soil health through better-informed management decisions is one means of improving environmental quality. In the UN’s International Year of Soils, it is time to focus on the interconnectedness between land management, soil  health and environmental quality. This special session will focus on aspects of crop and  grazing land management from scales ranging from sub-field to small watershed that will lead to both improved soil health and environmental quality. Of special interest will be on how land managers can capitalize on inherent soil properties to improve the dynamic (or soil health) properties that can be altered through land management.
