| Zusammenfassung |
| The Spanish Society of Soil Science (SECS: www.secs.com.es) is preparing since 2009 a
calendar dealing with a topic chosen by its members, with the main aim to disseminate the
importance of the soil to the society. In this contribution, we want to show the calendar 2016,
developed during 2015, (International Year of Soils) dedicated to soil and art. We chose, for
the twelve months of the year, a selection of paintings where soil is present, and where
we, as soil scientists, can interpret what the artist observed about the soil or its
management.
An introduction written by professor F. Díaz-Fierros describes the evolution of different
styles in different regions of Western Europe and US, and how soil was reflected in artworks.
The selected paintings date from XV century to current times, by autors of different schools
of art and very varying styles. The main features shown in these paintings are soil colour, soil
structure, horizonation, and even soil profiles that can be classified. Other paintings show
ploughing as main land management practice, and also soil conservation practices and the
effects of fire as soil degradation.
