In this chapter, we address a series of topics that have experienced a strong evolution or become important issues since 2000 to date in Italy. Topics range from (i) legislative acts that have affected soil science to (ii) the advancements in the fields of pedology, palaeosols, analytical methods, slush and burn, use of compost, and GIS to (iii) the increased knowledge on the soil threats, the use of compost, the effect of fire on soil, the soil-snow relationship, the pedotechniques, the pedo-archaeologic studies, to (iv) new topics that have gained interest like hydromorphic and subaqueous soils, use of biochar and graphite in agriculture, omic sciences, and pedo-medicine.

Abstract
In this chapter, we address a series of topics that have experienced a strong evolution or become important issues since 2000 to date in Italy. Topics range from (i) legislative acts that have affected soil science to (ii) the advancements in the fields of pedology, palaeosols, analytical methods, slush and burn, use of compost, and GIS to (iii) the increased knowledge on the soil threats, the use of compost, the effect of fire on soil, the soil-snow relationship, the pedotechniques, the pedo-archaeologic studies, to (iv) new topics that have gained interest like hydromorphic and subaqueous soils, use of biochar and graphite in agriculture, omic sciences, and pedo-medicine.
