The document provides an overview of the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) and its regional branches (RESOLAN) established to promote soil laboratory collaboration. National reference laboratories act as intermediaries to harmonize practices and disseminate knowledge within their countries. Additional spontaneously registered laboratories can also participate through national soil laboratory networks.
