Abstract

The role of soil micromorphology within new soil research concepts -developed for the European Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection is explained. Soil micromorphology has a central function in the concept of integrated research and is able to support inter-disciplinary approaches for soil protection and management (Table 1). This could be one of the main assets for the future development of soil micromorphology and its survival in the medium or long term.
