Effectively and efficiently delivers soil and ecological site knowledge to the user community.
Overview
The Soil and Plant Science Division (SPSD) has implemented a focus team concept to effectively and efficiently deliver soil and ecological site information to the user community while maintaining the high quality of the data and information. The 14 focus teams are composed of subject matter experts from within and outside the SPSD. The geographic diversity of the team members assures dissemination of knowledge, skills, and abilities across the SPSD.
