At the Annual Meeting 2011 of the German Soil Science Society (DBG) in Berlin, the working group “Forest soils” will hold three symposia:

• Forest soils and climate change
• Carbon stocks and carbon cycling in forest soils – methodological assessment and new insights (together with working group “Humus forms”)
• Forest soils:  Recent trends of physcial and chemical change

To strengthen the performance of the working group “Forest Soils” in the German Soil Science Society and to propagate the activities of its members among the colleagues, we ask everyone to submit contributions to these symposia.
