• 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?
