Ladies a n d g e n t 1 e m e n, I have the pleasure to welcome you
here in Prague in the name of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences
and to open the Fifth Inter national Colloquium on Soil Zoology. We
are very glad that Czecho slovakia was chosen for this important
meeting. It is clear to all of us that the soil plays and will play
a de cisive part in providing food for the explosive increase of
human pop ulation. For this reason we watch with great anxiety the
negative influence of human activities on the environment
accompanied also by the other destructive intervention into the
soil ecosystem, its devas tation by inefficient management,
application of herbicides and pesti cides pollution by the waste
products of industry and human settlements. The basis for solving
these accumulating and now sometimes latent prob lems is among
others a good knowledge of the role of soil organisms in the cycles
of materials and in the energy flow. Soil zoology as a part of soil
biology is still at the beginning of this trend The lack of in
formation about life in soil is obvious when compared with the
results of a related biological science dealing with the water
ecosystem."
