There are approximately 900 million hectares of sandy soils worldwide, particularly in arid or semi-arid regions. There are more than 22 million hectares of arable sands in southern and western Australia. These soils are often impacted by multiple constraints, such as, soil acidity, hardpans and soil water repellence while also have inherently poor fertility and a limited capacity to store water and nutrients.
These and other challenges associated with sands require multi-faceted research skills and strategies, diagnostic methods and management approaches to overcome. This conference will build and strengthen the international network of researchers with expertise on sandy soils.
The 2nd Global Conference on Sandy Soils theme ‘Shifting Sands to Sustainable Solutions’ is focused the challenges of managing and protecting the natural capital of sandy soils in the face of a changing climate.
About the First Global Conference on Sandy Soils
The first Global Conference on Sandy Soils was held in Madison, USA, in 2023. It was organised by Alfred Hartemink and Jingyi Huang, who recognised the need to study sandy soil as a group of soils. In total 23 papers from the conference are presented in the book Sandy Soils (Hartemink, A.E. and Huang, J. Eds., 2023):
