Forest Soil Physical, Chemical and Biological Properties—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The soils of tropical and subtropical forest environments have undergone changes in recent years, whether due to human action or the impacts of climate change. Thus, soil attributes (physical, chemical and biological) have been changing in this new context, especially the use and management of forest soils. As such, evaluating the behavior of soil attributes for the production of consumer goods, as well as the provision of ecosystem services, has become a fundamental demand for the maintenance of agricultural production and the supply of drinking water, carbon sequestration and conservation of this important natural resource. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collate articles that aim to verify the influences of different use and management systems on the attributes of tropical and subtropical soils.
