Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil analysis plays a crucial role in understanding and maintaining environmental health, agricultural productivity, and human well-being. Soil serves as the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems, influencing plant growth, water retention, and carbon sequestration. Soil quality has a direct impact on public health. Contaminated soils can introduce toxic substances into the food chain and water supply. By examining soil composition, structure, and contaminants, scientists and policymakers can make informed decisions about land use, conservation, and pollution control. The importance of soil analysis extends across various ecosystems, from forests and wetlands to agricultural and urban areas, each presenting unique challenges and benefits.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, ‘Advance in Soil Analysis in Different Ecosystems’.
This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted role of soil analysis in various ecosystems, highlighting its significance for environmental sustainability, agricultural productivity, and human health. We invite contributions that address innovative methodologies, case studies, and interdisciplinary approaches to soil assessment across diverse landscapes, including natural, agricultural, urban, and coastal environments.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, soil physicochemical properties, microbial dynamics, nutrient cycling, contamination assessment, climate change impacts, and sustainable land management practices.
By bringing together cutting-edge research and practical insights, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of soil functions and their critical role in maintaining ecosystem resilience and global food security.
