“…References in identified publications were further screened for additional publications relating to use of archived soils. Articles cited in applicable review papers were also included in the search (e.g., Ayres, 2019; Dolfing & Feng, 2015; Richer‐de‐Forges et al., 2021; Richter et al., 2007). For this study, only publications in English or with English abstracts were considered.…”

“…The International Soil Carbon Network maintains an inventory of global LTSEs; however, less than half of all LTSEs archive soil (International Soil Carbon Network, 2021; Richter & Yaalon, 2012). Previous efforts to tally and compile information related to soil archives have revealed an uneven distribution globally with limited accessibility (Pool & Laney, 2021; Richer‐de‐Forges et al., 2021). Whereas some soil archives excel in their documentation of metadata, experimental data, and ongoing research (e.g., NEON Megapit Soil Archive and Rothamsted Sample Archive) (Ayres, 2019; Perryman et al., 2018), efforts to compile and categorize key information related to the use of soil archives in the scientific literature is lacking.…”

Soil archives preserve a snapshot of soils from a specific time and location, allowing researchers to re-evaluate soils of the past in the context of the present for an improved understanding of long-term soil change. To date, the extent of soil archive use in the peer-reviewed literature is poorly inventoried. Here, we document the characteristics and distribution of global soil archive use, as found in 245 publications, following an exhaustive search of English language journals. Soil archive use has increased substantially since 1980, reaching 59 publications between 2016 and 2020. The age of soil archives across the compilation ranged from 5 to 160 yr, with mean and median archive ages of 48 and 37 yr, respectively. Publications using soil archives originated mostly from countries in the northern hemisphere, with the top five reporting countries including the United States (61), United Kingdom (52), New Zealand (21), Canada (18), and China (14). Land uses associated with soil archive publications were dominated by agroecosystems, specifically land planted to annual crops. Fortyseven percent of investigations focused on changes in soil C, N, or organic matter, whereas investigations of other subjects did not exceed 20% each. The compilation is publicly available online. As demands on soils increase, archives will serve as an invaluable tool for understanding long-term soil change in the Anthropocene era. Multiregional coordination and increased investment in curation and retention of soil archives are recommended to preserve these irreplaceable resources.

“…Settings for engagement include formal (museums, science centers) and informal (community gardens) spaces, and different types of engagement and messages are needed for the different audiences. Globally, there are 38 museums focused on soil, with attendance between 1,000 and 10,000 visitors per year; many visitors are comprised of organized visits of school and university groups (Richer-de-Forges et al, 2021). While these numbers are much less than some of the world's most famous museums, such as the 20-30 million who visit the Smithsonian Museums in a typical year (https: //www.si.edu/newsdesk/about/stats) or 8-10 million annual visitors to the Louvre (https://www.statista.com/statistics/ 247419/yearly-visitors-to-the-louvre-in-paris/), this still represents important outreach.…”

Soil knowledge is essential to address modern global challenges. Soil science education began with soil survey and agricultural activities, with a focus on the traditional subdisciplines of soil chemistry, soil physics, pedology, soil mineralogy, and soil biology. Soil education has evolved to address the needs of an increasing variety of fields and increasingly complex issues, as seen through the move to teach soil content in programs such as biological and ecological sciences, environmental science, and geosciences. A wide range of approaches have been used to teach soil topics in the modern classroom, including not only traditional lecture and laboratory techniques but also soil judging, online tools, computer graphics, animations, and game‐based learning, mobile apps, industry partners, open‐access materials, and flipped classrooms. The modern soil curriculum needs to acknowledge the multifunctionality of soils and provide a suite of conduits that connect its traditional subdisciplines with other cognate areas. One way to accomplish this may be to shift from the traditional subdiscipline‐based approach to soil science education to a soil functions approach. Strategies to engage the public include incorporating soil topics into primary and secondary school curricula, engaging the public through museums and citizen science projects, and explaining the significance of soil to humanity. Soil education has many challenges and opportunities in the years ahead.

In this paper, we first use VR technology to spatially calibrate the flat images of furniture booths and use a fisheye camera to obtain the visual features of booth space layout with coordinate information and color information in 3D space to construct a 3D geometric model. Then, the booth layout framework is used to extract the scene information, and the visualization processing and fusion of layout nodes are realized using coordinate conversion to complete the multi-user interactive genetic algorithm-based booth space layout to visualize and analyze the furniture layout of the booth space. After testing, we found that before optimizing, the area occupied by individual furniture SA tends to increase with the increase in a number of furniture. After optimization, the average area utilization of the booth increased by 23.6%, the number of furniture that can be accommodated in a single furniture area increased by 81.82% on average, and the booth space utilization was highly improved.
