A horizon is mainly associated with the view into the infinite over the vastness of the sea. In fact, the ground which we inhabit is made up of manifold horizons – soil horizons. They pile up from the solid bedrock into layers of interactive surfaces of soil. The variety of soil horizons are made up of the long-term and short-term memory of the grounding processes of our existence throughout terrestrial time. To dig deep into the Earth opens up new horizons for the organization of life within the Critical Zone.
