Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Worldwide, climate change poses significant challenges to soil fertility and plant nutrition, with profound implications for food security and agricultural sustainability. Understanding how to improve soil fertility and plant nutrition is crucial for efficient, sustainable, and future-oriented agriculture, ensuring sufficient, high-quality food production while protecting the environment. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to cover a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to) the following: novel approaches for assessing soil fertility levels; innovative soil management techniques to enhance nutrient availability; the impact of soil amendments on soil fertility and plant nutrition; strategies for optimizing nutrient uptake and utilization by plants; the role of microbial communities in soil fertility and nutrient cycling; sustainable practices for improving soil health and fertility; integration of precision agriculture technologies for efficient nutrient management; and the effects of environmental factors on soil fertility and plant nutrition. Moreover, it seeks to advance our understanding of soil–plant interactions and provide valuable insights for sustainable agricultural practices and crop production. We welcome novel research, reviews, original articles, and communication covering all related topics.
