Abstract
Soils in urban, industrial, traffic, mining and military areas (SUITMA) is a working group of the International Union of Soil Sciences created in 1998 to increase and promote soil science in strongly anthropized areas (Morel and Heinrich 2008). Originally dedicated to basic soil science aimed at the description, analysis, classification, and mapping of soils developed in human-transformed environments, i.e., the SUITMAs, which exhibit contrasting features in comparison with natural soils, the SUITMA group interest has shifted towards the study of soil functions, their status and restoration, and their role in the functioning and evolution of urban ecosystems.
