Abstract
Based on an enlarged concept of soil, the competitive use of the six soil functions is identified as the main problem of soil protection. Within the concept of soil protection and remediation, goals, guiding principles and procedures are defined and the actual status of integrated research for soil protection in Europe is discussed under the aspects of the actual advances in soil protection and remediation, the integration and harmonization of concepts and goals, the integration and harmonization of methodological approaches and the integration and harmonization with time.
