Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Strengthening farmland protection is a crucial guarantee for food security, sustainable agricultural development, and the quality and safety of agricultural products. The spatial distribution of heavy metals in cultivated land varies greatly. Meanwhile, with the diversified development of the social economy, there is a lack of refined prevention and control technologies and supervision methods for heavy metal pollution in farmland in different regions. This Special Issue, in response to the important mission of farmland protection, solicits the latest research manuscripts related to the entire chain of farmland protection, Source tracing, soil environment monitoring, restoration, restoration effect assessment, and supervision technology methods.
What kind of papers are we soliciting:
- Monitoring and risk assessment of the farmland soil environment;
- Source tracing, remediation technology, and a model of heavy metal pollution in farmland;
- Evaluation of the effect of farmland restoration;
- Intelligent and information-based supervision of farmland land protection and restoration;
- Policies for the protection and restoration management of farmland land.
