About the Cover:

The American Geological Institute and the Soil Science Society of America have joined together to remind us that "Soils Sustain Life", as proclaimed on the beautiful poster from AGI/SSSA featured on the cover. The paper by Davies, Ghabbour, and Steelink (pp 1609-1614) emphasizes the many roles of humic substances in soils, sediments, and water, and provides the latest information on these marvelous and versatile materials. The image on the cover is used with the permission of the American Geological Institute and the Soil Science Society of America.
