The topic of the conference is anthropogenic impacts on the soil environment, which can cause both positive and negative changes in soil properties and can affect soil quality and health or its ability to provide ecosystem services. Due to the location of the conference in an area that has long been significantly impacted by open-pit mining of brown coal and its combustion, the first two thematic areas are more specifically focused on the issues of the impacts of mining on the landscape and soils, as well as on the specifics of newly forming soils in reclaimed landfill areas. However, contributions from any part of the broad spectrum of impacts of human activity on agricultural and forest soils are welcome.

The submission of abstracts is part of the registration form, as is the selection of the presentation form (talk/poster). The length of the abstract text (excluding title, authors' names, etc.) should not exceed 1900 characters without spaces. The organizers reserve the right to change the selected presentation form when compiling the final conference program (no later than 30 June 2025).

Accommodation will be provided at the CASCADE hotel in single and double (twin) rooms. The registration form also includes a choice of accommodation option. Your choice will be forwarded to the hotel operator. Accommodation will therefore be provided/reserved based on registration, but its payment is not part of the registration fee. Participants pay for the booked accommodation on site.

Catering during the conference is provided in the hotel restaurant and is included in the registration fee (17. 9. – lunch, social evening, 18. 9. – lunch, dinner, 19. 9. lunch – package). Breakfast is included in the accommodation price.

Registration and payment of the registration fee by 6th June 2025
