Soil science is one of the least diverse fields within science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Because demographics of groups and institutions provide a window into the culture, climate, equity and inclusion of minoritized scholars, we discuss how lack of diversity continues to affect our science and the scientific community, and its implications for the welfare of the global population. We highlight the role of antiracist practices and policies for improving workplace climate and thereby developing a diverse and inclusive scientific community. We present this article as a starting point for discussions on issues of race and racism in our scientific community and institutions.

土壤科学中的种族和种族主义

土壤科学是科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 中最不多样化的领域之一。由于群体和机构的人口统计数据为了解少数派学者的文化、气候、公平和包容性提供了一个窗口，因此我们讨论了缺乏多样性如何继续影响我们的科学和科学界，及其对全球人口福利的影响。我们强调反种族主义做法和政策在改善工作场所氛围方面的作用，从而发展多元化和包容性的科学界。我们将本文作为在我们的科学界和机构中讨论种族和种族主义问题的起点。
