Kozybayev North Kazakhstan State University (Kazakhstan); Honorary member of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS); Honorary Member of the Academia of Agriculture and Forestry Science (Romania); Academician of the Italian Academy of Forestry Sciences; Academician of the Italian National Academy of Agriculture.
Anna Benedetti (1956) was Director of Research Centre Plant and Soil System of the Council for Economy and Agriculture Research (CREA). Her research topics were about soil microbiology and biodiversity, plant nutrition and soil fertility, soil fertilization, and soil sustainable use. She has published around 500 papers including books. She chaired numerous research projects on soil at international and national level. She has been President of the Italian Soil Science Society (SISS), National Focal Point for Global Soil Partnership (FAO, Rome), Expert in Working Group Fertilizer of EU, Chair of Cost Action 831 on Soil Biotechnology.

Giuseppe Corti (1961) has been Full Professor of Pedology at the Department of Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Sciences at the Università Politecnica delle Marche (Ancona). His studies have encompassed many Soil Science topics like the genesis of soils from severe environment (including cold and hot deserts, volcanoes, and saline environments), soil-plant relationships, soil pollution, soil fertility, and soil rehabilitation. He has also managed projects funded by European Union, Italian Ministries, National Science Foundation (USA), and local administrations. He published 109 papers on journals with impact factor, 10 book chapters, and 2 monographies. He is in the editorial board of Geoderma, Pedosphere, Italian Journal of Agronomy, and Alexandria Science Exchange Journal. Since January 2022, he is Director of the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics (CREA), agency under the control of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
History is generally defined as “the study of past events, particularly in human affairs” and is mostly understood when presented chronologically. That’s why someone also defined it as the ‘chronological record of the past’. Knowing the past is extremely important for any society and human being. Past gives us insights into our evolving behavior in many matters of life. The book is seen as a unique opportunity to preserve the memory of the Italian history of soil science. It represents a milestone and a cultural heritage. Moreover, the book is a sort of ideal bridge between the pioneers of soil science in Italy and the young generation of researchers, contributing to spreading awareness of the importance of soil as a fundamental resource.
