Son muchas las personas que se preocupan de dar a conocer a los más jóvenes el papel fundamental que tienen los suelos en nuestra vida. En esta sección recogemos el título de artículos relacionados con la enseñanza del suelo. Los iremos poniendo poco a poco. Si eres el autor y quieres escribir una breve reseña nos la puedes enviar a edafoeduca@upv.es.

Eight lecture tutorials were developed covering topics within soil physics (specific surface area, texture, and bulk density), soil mineralogy (clay minerals, weathering), and soil fertility (carbon cycle, C/N ratio, and Liebig’s Law). The hands-on lecture tutorials use simple objects to illustrate the concept: blocks for specific surface area, Styrofoam balls and toothpicks to build models for clay minerals, and paper cups for Liebig’s La
