There are so many wonderful treasures around us, and yet people hardly ever notice them. There are so many little lifeforms wriggling right beneath our feet— significantly more than on the earth. The soil is not just part of the ground; it is the basis of our very existence and is subjected to increasing levels of stress from monocultures, roads, houses and over-pollution. As a result, the diversity within and between animal and plant species, ecosystems and agricultural regions is under threat. The contaminated sites of mining companies and manufacturing industries are also posing significant challenges to society: How can contaminated areas be restored? Environmental protection concerns us all—but especially bio-geoscientists! After all, such problems can no longer be solved by individual disciplines like chemistry, geology or biology alone—we have to establish interdisciplinary networks.
