Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil plays a key role in ecosystems, contributing to their functionality and the services that they provide. As such, soil supports climate change mitigation, biodiversity, nutrient and water cycling, and vegetation, and is pivotal to human society. Therefore, it is essential to understand the dynamics of soil in different ecosystems, including its role, services, and threats. This Special Issue welcomes all research related to soil, from pedology, soil physics, soil chemistry, soil biology, soil security, and pedometrics. Suggested topics include carbon sequestration and lability, chemical mobilization, mineral weathering, geomorphology, geospatial analysis, soil depth functions, biotic activity, temporal and spatial soil changes, or any other topic that contributes to our understanding of soil in various ecosystems.
