Les sols, nouvelle frontière pour les savoirs et les politiques de l’environnement
Despite its vital importance for ecosystems and societies, soil largely remains understood as an inert base, a backdrop for the biological and social life that exists at its surface. This special issue looks at the dynamics of production, circulation and

The main advantages of applying computed tomography to studying soil samples include non-invasiveness, independence of the moisture content in the samples and the possibility for mathematical modelling. The methodological problems of this imaging technique include restrictions of the sample size, resolution limitations and segmentation difficulties.
