Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Healthy soil is the foundation of sustainable and productive agroecosystems.
The soil must perform a variety of agronomic and ecosystem functions, support biological productivity, maintain environmental quality and promote plant and animal health.
Anthropogenic factors, the use of agricultural technologies and systems have a significant impact on soil health, as well as on environmental protection and climate change. As civilization grows, waste accumulates, the mess of which greatly affects the quality of the environment. Therefore, they are increasingly used to fertilize the soil. That's not always a good thing. To reduce this negative impact, more attention should be paid to the interaction of growing plants with various physicochemical, biological soil properties.
Specific scientific information collected in the special issue "Soil Health and Properties in a Changing Environment" will fill knowledge gaps and allow a broader understanding of the problem as a whole and ways to solve it. Original research (full articles or brief reports), reviews or opinions on soil properties in changing conditions will be published here. Articles that should improve our knowledge on this topic, especially those that reflect indicators of soil health and properties, are welcome.
