Modelling and Mapping of Soil

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue welcomes contributions focusing on the use of soil information (including agricultural, forest, and urban soils) to enhance sustainable development. Manuscripts may consider either the collection of baseline soil data or more advanced modeling of soil properties. The following are examples of suitable topics: methods of collection of soil and soil-related data (e.g., soil sensing or digital soil mapping), soil data modeling, interpretation and elaboration of focused soil information, soil web GIS, application of soil information in specific sectors (e.g., agriculture, forestry, planning, natural resource management, or climate change mitigation), and soil information systems at different spatial levels.

Particular focus will be placed on research using and/or developing novel data integration techniques, studies using proximal or remotely sensed data, and research outcomes for local stakeholders, including GIS-based planning and decision support tools.
