ISMC Annual Report 2017

The International Soil Modeling Consortium is officially one year old. We started out with
enthusiastic and ambitious goals, and you will discover in this report that we are making
significant progress in reaching these goals. Throughout the community, that enthusiasm
has developed into a special kind of engaging spirit, reflected in a series of highlights in

activities and networking.

ISMC - linking soil modeling experts

The International Soil Modeling Consortium aims to integrate and advance soil systems modeling, data gathering,and observational capabilities, through:

bringing together leading experts in modelling soil processes within all major soil disciplines
addressing major scientific gaps in describing key processes and their long term impacts with respect to the different functions and ecosystem services provided by soil;
promoting integration of soil modelling expertise in neighboring disciplines (climate, land surface, eco, hydro, and other models)
performing soil model intercomparison studies at local to global scales
consolidating soil and other data platforms for modeling purposes
integrating societal and environmental considerations into soil and ecosystem functioning
