Special Issue on Restoration of Degraded Lands to Functional Ecosystems

Restoration of degraded land generally involves vegetation that increases carbon stocks in biomass and soil. It can occur on croplands, grazing lands, forests, or "other" lands (mine spoils, deserts, etc.)

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring restoration of degraded lands to functional ecosystems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Soil biodiversity and soil properties
• Land pollution
• Deforestation and soil erosion
• Land degradation assessment
• Reforestation and vegetation restoration
• Policies and governance
• Soil improvements trends

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Restoration of Degraded Lands to Functional Ecosystems” should be selected during your submission.
