Digital convergence is helping us to better understand and study the soil. Fixed and mobile sensors, and wireless communication systems aided by the internet produce cheap and abundant streams of digital soil data that can readily be used for modeling and information generation. Here, we explore the ways in which digital science and technology have affected soil science. We can call this digital soil science and define it as the study of the soil aided by the tools of the digital convergence. To some degree, all of our research and teaching had been enabled, enhanced, and expanded by the digital convergence. We outline how soil science has changed using illustrations of intellectual and technical developments enabled digitally. Digital soil sensors have been widely implemented, and new tools such as cell phones and applications, or metagenomics techniques are becoming available. There are also areas in soil science for which no major obstacles in the digital technologies exist, but which have not been thoroughly investigated—for example, to devise a truly digital soil field description or for building a formal digital quantitative system of soil classification. The soil science community will need to be alert to some of the dangers brought by digital convergence such as the lack of new theory and proprietary (black-box) soil prediction. Finally, we discuss a whole set of digital tools that will, or might, gain the stage in the immediate future and take a stab in the dark on what may lie over the horizon of digital soil science.

数字土壤科学及其他

数字融合正在帮助我们更好地了解和研究土壤。固定和移动传感器以及由互联网辅助的无线通信系统产生廉价而丰富的数字土壤数据流,这些数据流可以很容易地用于建模和信息生成。在这里,我们探讨了数字科学和技术影响土壤科学的方式。我们可以称之为数字土壤科学,并将其定义为借助数字融合工具对土壤的研究。在某种程度上,我们所有的研究和教学都通过数字融合得到了支持、增强和扩展。我们使用数字化知识和技术发展的插图概述了土壤科学是如何发生变化的。数字土壤传感器已得到广泛应用,手机和应用程序等新工具、或宏基因组学技术正在变得可用。土壤科学中也有一些领域在数字技术方面不存在重大障碍,但尚未得到彻底研究——例如,设计真正的数字土壤田地描述或建立正式的土壤分类数字量化系统。土壤科学界需要警惕数字融合带来的一些危险,例如缺乏新理论和专有(黑匣子)土壤预测。最后,我们讨论了一整套数字工具,这些工具将或可能在不久的将来获得舞台,并在数字土壤科学的地平线上可能出现的黑暗中进行尝试。但尚未彻底调查——例如,设计真正的数字土壤田地描述或建立正式的土壤分类数字量化系统。土壤科学界需要警惕数字融合带来的一些危险,例如缺乏新理论和专有(黑匣子)土壤预测。最后,我们讨论了一整套数字工具,这些工具将或可能在不久的将来获得舞台,并在数字土壤科学的地平线上可能出现的黑暗中进行尝试。但尚未彻底调查——例如,设计真正的数字土壤田地描述或建立正式的土壤分类数字量化系统。土壤科学界需要警惕数字融合带来的一些危险,例如缺乏新理论和专有(黑匣子)土壤预测。最后,我们讨论了一整套数字工具,这些工具将或可能在不久的将来获得舞台,并在数字土壤科学的地平线上可能出现的黑暗中进行尝试。土壤科学界需要警惕数字融合带来的一些危险,例如缺乏新理论和专有(黑匣子)土壤预测。最后,我们讨论了一整套数字工具,这些工具将或可能在不久的将来获得舞台,并在数字土壤科学的地平线上可能出现的黑暗中进行尝试。土壤科学界需要警惕数字融合带来的一些危险,例如缺乏新理论和专有(黑匣子)土壤预测。最后,我们讨论了一整套数字工具,这些工具将或可能在不久的将来获得舞台,并在数字土壤科学的地平线上可能出现的黑暗中进行尝试。
