Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil is the most valuable resource on Earth since it comprises the essential elements we need to build and maintain life. Maintaining soil functioning while ensuring nutrient availability for plant uptake is crucial for food provision in a sustainable agricultural approach. In this context, the study of sustainable soil and crop management practices used in agricultural systems is a step forward in soil preservation.
This Special Issue covers original research and reviews on the following topics:1) studying the effects of crop and management practices on soil quality, ecosystem preservation, crop yield, and food quality; 2) the introduction of new soil and crop management activities and their potential beneficial effects; 3) soil and crop management to be adopted by farmers that specifically targets current problems in agriculture such as the low soil organic matter, poor soil water retention, low biodiversity, etc.
