The Plant and Soil Sciences eLibrary is a collection of Open Educational Resources (OER) developed by team members whose mission is to disseminate foundational science and cutting-edge research related to plants, soils, and the environments where plants grow. With collaboration from our subject matter experts and the use of technology we are growing this knowledge base which is used globally by students, industry, faculty, and researchers.
