Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Soil and Water resources are a fundamental condition for human survival and social development. In recent decades, with the explosive growth of human activities, various soil and water pollutants (including nitrate, arsenic, metals, phosphorus, antibiotics, microplastics, etc.) have been produced around the world. Therefore, it is urgent to launch soil and water pollution control and environmental management to prevent severe and widespread pollution worldwide. In this Topic, to explore novel knowledge around soil and water pollution control and environmental management, we invite authors to contribute original and unpublished articles on constructive, conceptual, experimental, empirical, theoretical, or practical work to this Topic. Novel research papers with tables, figures, and references are invited, as well as reviews and case reports.

Papers reporting new approaches to assess and address soil and water pollution are also welcome. Submissions to the Topic will be subject to peer review before final publication. Submitted papers must not be forwarded to any other publication at the same time. The final decision for paper publication will be made based on peer review reports by the Topic Editors or the Editor-in-Chief in cases of a conflict of interest. Published full-text papers will be available online on the Topic website. We sincerely hope that you will contribute your outstanding research to us.

Despite increasing concerns over recurrent phosphorus (P) pollution, the Ju River—a small tributary of the Yangtze River—has received limited scientific attention. To correct this, the present study integrates field-based observations with the Hydrological Simulation Program—FORTRAN (HSPF) model to comprehensively assess the conjunct effects of urban expansion and changing precipitation patterns on watershed hydrology and phosphorus dynamics at the small-catchment scale. A total of five urban expansion scenarios and three precipitation enhancement scenarios were simulated to capture both seasonal and event-driven variations in daily discharge and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations. The model was calibrated and validated using in situ water quality data, ensuring high reliability of the simulations. The results indicate that agricultural non-point sources are the primary contributor to total phosphorus (TP) loads. During the overlapping period of intensive farming and heavy rainfall (June–July), TP concentrations more than doubled compared to other months, with these two months accounting for over 70% of the annual TP load. Urban expansion significantly amplified hydrological extremes, increasing peak discharge by up to 224% under extreme rainfall, thereby intensifying flood risks. Although increased precipitation diluted TP concentrations, it simultaneously accelerated overall phosphorus export. This study offers a novel modeling–monitoring framework tailored for small watersheds and provides critical insights into how land use transitions and climate change jointly reshape nutrient cycling. The findings support the development of targeted, scenario-based strategies to mitigate eutrophication risks in vulnerable river systems. Full article
