Abstract
Soil and water supply us with the essentials of life, including clean water, healthy edible foods, feed, fiber, shelter, and fuel. Soil also serves as a repository for and soil and water are both central components of human culture. The close interactions between soil, water, plants and humans is very important for human health and well-being. This is a call for the submission of original manuscripts on this nexus that uses photographs to communicate how the nexus functions and its importance to humanity. This approach is based on a more photos, less words paradigm to create narrative photographic studies. More studies are needed that focus on different aspects of the soil-water-plant-human (SWPH)nexus. Any combination of the components of the SWPH nexus that includes the human component (e.g., soil-water-human, soil-plant-human, etc.) is welcome as part of this special section. The ultimate goal of these articles is to add to knowledge of the SWPH nexus in a way that incorporates art and culture into our scientific understanding of some of today’s major global challenges.
