Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phytostabilization is a viable alternative to other remediation methods, effectively treating not only small, but also large degraded areas. Phytostabilization has received much attention in recent years as a technique that immobilizes contaminants in the soil and reduces their bioavailability in the environment. This remediation method protects the soil from further degradation, including erosion, and the immobilized compounds are there because they migrate to other links in the food chain. Thus, the development of new phytostabilization methods provides information for use in the characterization of ecological systems, including soil ecosystems. Phytostabilization is effective in reducing ecological risk in soils containing both organic and inorganic contaminants.
This Special Issue should list new developments in phytostabilization of contaminated soil ecosystems, from analytical aspects to practical applications. We look forward to research that is interesting, promising and useful for the search for effective phytostabilization models to combat soil contamination.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
