Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil, an important substrate supporting the growth of surface organisms, is facing great degradation and pollution challenges, making soil improvement a research hotspot promoting sustainable soil use.
This Special Issue aims to gather new information about soil improvement technologies and methods, response processes, and interactions between soil and plants, alongside frontier research on biological soil improvement mechanisms.
Specifically, this Special Issue calls for original research, reviews, and small-scale reviews of soil improvement methods and mechanisms, including but not limited to the following: new materials and methods for soil improvement; soil improvement and carbon sequestration; cycling process of soil elements; soil–plant interactions; and biological mechanisms of soil improvement.
