Since the 1950s, soil science of Beijing Forestry University has always been one of the major bases for the cultivation of advanced forestry soil talents and the research of forestry soil science. Since the establishment of Beijing Forestry College, soil teaching and research office, the predecessor of soil science, has been established.
