Soil process is one of the key processes of terrestrial ecosystem, which responds and feeds back to the global change. This paper reviews the latest achievements of the studies on soil functions and processes under global change. The transect researches combined with network of long-term experiments become important methods at regional scale. Besides, stable C and N isotope analysis and model methods are widely applied to quantify the effect of anthropic and natural factors on soil C and N cycling. The future research on soil process under global change will focus on integrating the studies of social-economical and bio-physical processes, quantifying the driving mechanism of land-use and land cover change, studying the interaction between soil C and N cycling and water cycling, building C and N models at regional scale, predicting the change of soil function and the feedback effect on climate change and finally putting forward the strategies and measures to manage the soil function under global change.
