Special Issue on “Soil and Sustainable Development: Challenges and Solutions”
1. Introduction and Papers Published in This Special Issue
- On the one hand, compost can be used as fertilizer to favor crop development, a topic covered by manuscripts such as “Evaluation of the Potential of Agro-Industrial Waste-Based Composts to Control Botrytis Gray Mold and Soilborne Fungal Diseases in Lettuce” [11], “Long-term effects of calcium-based liming materials on soil fertility sustainability and rye yield as indicators of soil quality in a typical palexerulto” [12], and “Cowpea crop response to mineral and organic fertilisation in SE Spain” [13].
- 2.
- On the other hand, there are contamination studies of metals (“Influence of Physicochemical Properties and Parent Material on Chromium Fractionation in Soil” [14] and “Monitoring, Diffusion and Source Speculation Model of Urban Soil Pollution” [15] as well as emerging contaminants, such as antibiotics, including the work of Conde-Cid et al. [16] “Tetracycline and Sulfonamide Antibiotics in Soils: Presence, Fate and Environmental Risks” and Rodríguez González et al. [17] “The Effect of Clarithromycin Toxicity on the Growth of Bacterial Communities in Agricultural Soils”.
