*/8th ISMOM/*(International Symposium on Interactions of Soil Minerals with Organic Components and Microorganisms), *Seville, Spain 23-28 June 2019*
5^th InterCongress of Commission 2.5, IUSS
*/Understanding Soil Interfacial Reactions for Sustainable Soil Management and Climatic Change/*
Dear colleagues,
This is a reminder of the forthcoming ISMOM, with a few key dates and figures. Please visit the web site for more information.
With my best wishes for 2019 and hoping to see many of you in Spain this summer.

*Important dates*
1^st January –Registration opens
1^st February Abstract submission deadline (2000 Characters)
1^st April End of Early bird registration fees
*Scientific Sessions*
* */Soil as a C and N sink /*– Who is the major player, soil minerals, soil organic matter quality, microbial activity or their interplay?
* */New physical, chemical and biological analytical approaches /*– How can they lead us to a better understanding of soil interfaces?
* */Ecological disturbances /*– How do mismanagement of soils (overgrazing, erosion etc.) or natural disasters (fire, flooding etc.) affect the interplay between soil minerals, SOM and microorganisms?
* */Dynamics of pollutants at soil interfaces /*– What is new and how can environmental biotechnology be beneficial for soil restoration
and bioremediation?
* */Soil amendments /*(biochar, composts and digestates) – How do they affect interactions at soil interfaces?
* */Nutrient availability in soils /*– Can our knowledge on soil interfaces improve biotechnological approaches or soil management to
decrease the need for artificial fertilizers?
