Index page introductions to groups and issues in the Soil Selfies collection done as Linked Posts
This index page lists LN posts by the major groupings used in the Soil Selfies collection and Soil Stories activities. The LN post will take you to an introduction which has a link to a Soil Selfies and in its references will take you to more on that if desired. (The Soil Selfies main page lists Soil Selfies by locations, and the region pages (eg Global) lists each one by icon and short individual description. These LN posts (and tweets and FB posts) were written for many of the Soil Selfies to draw attention to particular things about soils within the Soil Selfies collection.
