Special Issue on Soil-Sediment-Water Systems

Hazard mitigation describes actions taken to help reduce or eliminate long-term risks caused by hazards or disasters, such as flooding, earthquakes, wildfires, landslides, or dam failure. As the costs of disasters continue to rise, governments and citizens must find ways to reduce hazard risks to our communities. While mitigation activities can and should be taken before a disaster occurs, hazard mitigation is essential after a disaster. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Soil-Sediment-Water Systems.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Soil-Sediment-Water Systems. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Impacts of agricultural land use on soil properties and agricultural pollutants interaction
• Soil quality assessment under different land use types
• Advances in pesticide fate and transport in the environment
• Water resources and land use planning
• Importance of environmental history in present and future condition of soils, sediments and waters
• Pollutant behavior in urban ecosystems
• Risks and benefits of emerging technologies and emerging chemicals
• Ecosystems aspects of soil, sediment and water in the context of human interactions with the biosphere

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

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Soil-Sediment-Water Systems” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
