Land, Soil and Water
A section of Land (ISSN 2073-445X).
Section Information
The Land, Soil, and Water section of Land invites papers and opinions addressing the protection, restoration and promotion of the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. Soil ecosystem services provide a robust platform for accomplishing these goals. Specifically, we are inviting manuscripts addressing role of soils related to the above goals through the following avenues:
- Food, fiber, fuel and water production
- Regulation of water control, soil erosion, flood control, carbon sequestration, and nutrient cycling
- Protection and restoration from soil degradation and desertification
- Maintenance of soil biodiversity habitat
- Protection of cultural enrichment dependent on the soil system
Manuscripts can be theoretical, applied, ‘state of the science’ reviews and opinion papers. Interdisciplinary manuscripts are particularly welcome, as the land, soil, water systems is the basis of all societal challenges of our time.
