Special Issue on Soil Environment and Agriculture 

Soil is the most important natural non-renewable resource developed over a longer period of time due to weathering of rocks and subsequently enrichment of organic matter. Soil provides habitat for numerous microorganisms and serves as a natural medium for plant growth, thereby providing the plants with anchorage, nutrients and water to sustain the growth. Soil also serves as a universal sink for all types of pollutants, purifies ground water and is a major reserve of carbon in the universe. 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 this area of soil environment and agriculture .

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore soil environment and agriculture. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Digital soil and resource management
• Soil fertility and oriented cultivation improvement
• Plant nutrition and efficient fertilizer application
• Soil biology and interface processes
• Soil use and environmental change
• Soil fertility and crop growth
• Soil degradation and crop production
• The enhancement of soil biodiversity
• Reduction of soil erosion, contamination and compaction

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 specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Soil Environment and Agriculture” should be selected during your submission.
