DBG 2025

#HealthySoilsClimateProtection

13 – 18 September 2025

University of Tübingen

DEAR COLLEAGUES,

The Annual Meeting of the German Soil Science Society (DBG) 2025 will take place at the University of Tübingen from 13 to 18 September 2025. This traditional event will once again provide a dynamic platform for scientific exchange and networking in soil science.

The motto of the conference is #HealthySoilsClimateProtection. Soils cover almost all of the Earth's surface, produce more than 90% of our food, host a quarter of the planet's biodiversity, purify our drinking water and help regulate our climate. They are one of the most complex biogeosystems in nature, containing a vast array of solid, liquid and gaseous compounds. Interacting with a myriad of organisms, our soils are part of and contribute to the global cycles of life on Earth. Healthy soils therefore provide us with answers to the four great challenges of our time: food, biodiversity, water and climate. They are the foundation of our civilisation and demand our special attention and responsibility.

The University of Tübingen, one of the oldest and most renowned universities in Germany, is the ideal setting for our conference thanks to its rich campus life and excellent research environment. The historic old town of Tübingen and the impressive landscape of the Neckar Valley create an inspiring atmosphere that promotes scientific dialogue and stimulates new insights.

You can look forward to a varied programme with top-class lectures, exciting workshops and excursions that will give you the opportunity to discuss the latest research results and innovative approaches in soil science. Take this opportunity to get in touch with colleagues, gain new impulses and jointly shape the perspectives of soil science.

We look forward to your participation!

Sincerely,

Thomas Scholten, Michaela Dippold, Yvonne Oelmann, Callum Banfield, Harald Neidhardt, Peter Kühn
