publication anniversary, in 2016, released 125 of the most challenging scientific issues (Kennedy et al., 2005) to the world. According to the basics, breadth and the influence, 25 of the issues which considered to be the most important were screened, including “How many people can the Earth carry?” (Stokstad, 2005; Dailyg et al., 1992; Cohen, 1995) and “How high will the greenhouse effect make the earth temperature?” These two scientific problems are based on resources and the environment: the population limit that the earth can carry is related with the land and surface water resources and ecological environment carrying capacity; the root of the greenhouse effect is the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, and the soil is the largest carbon bank in the terrestrial ecosystem, the impact of soil resources on the greenhouse effect can not be ignored. Traditional soil resources are only problems related to agriculture or human food and clothing and can no longer fully reflect the overall function and value of the soil. The soil not only provides food and fibre for human beings, but has social, ecological, economic, cultural and spiritual dimensions (Robinson et al., 2012), It also plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring environmental safety and energy security, documenting the evolutionary history of the earth and humanity, and protecting biodiversity, and the soil is at the heart of safeguarding the structure and function of the Earth’s ecosystems.
