      abstract     = {The remarkable complexity of soil and its importance to a
                      wide range of ecosystem services presents major challenges
                      to the modeling of soil processes. Although major progress
                      in soil models has occurred in the last decades, models of
                      soil processes remain disjointed between disciplines or
                      ecosystem services, with considerable uncertainty remaining
                      in the quality of predictions and several challenges that
                      remain yet to be addressed. First, there is a need to
                      improve exchange of knowledge and experience among the
                      different disciplines in soil science and to reach out to
                      other Earth science communities. Second, the community needs
                      to develop a new generation of soil models based on a
                      systemic approach comprising relevant physical, chemical,
                      and biological processes to address critical knowledge gaps
                      in our understanding of soil processes and their
                      interactions. Overcoming these challenges will facilitate
                      exchanges between soil modeling and climate, plant, and
                      social science modeling communities. It will allow us to
                      contribute to preserve and improve our assessment of
                      ecosystem services and advance our understanding of
                      climate-change feedback mechanisms, among others, thereby
                      facilitating and strengthening communication among
                      scientific disciplines and society. We review the role of
                      modeling soil processes in quantifying key soil processes
                      that shape ecosystem services, with a focus on provisioning
                      and regulating services. We then identify key challenges in
                      modeling soil processes, including the systematic
                      incorporation of heterogeneity and uncertainty, the
                      integration of data and models, and strategies for effective
                      integration of knowledge on physical, chemical, and
                      biological soil processes. We discuss how the soil modeling
                      community could best interface with modern modeling
                      activities in other disciplines, such as climate, ecology,
                      and plant research, and how to weave novel observation and
                      measurement techniques into soil models. We propose the
                      establishment of an international soil modeling consortium
                      to coherently advance soil modeling activities and foster
                      communication with other Earth science disciplines. Such a
                      consortium should promote soil modeling platforms and data
                      repository for model development, calibration and
                      intercomparison essential for addressing contemporary
                      challenges.},
