Status in Agricultural Soil Pollution and Its Controls

Dear Colleagues,

Agricultural soil pollution, induced by chemical fertilizer (soil nutrient enrichment, soil acidification), heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides, antibiotics, microplastics and others, has aroused considerable concern on soil sustainability, environmental risks, agricultural product safety and human health worldwide. Deep insights into the status of agricultural soil pollution benefits to enhance the security and sustainability have been described. Therefore, it is urgently required to elucidate the causes, status, and mechanisms of various agricultural soil pollution and to numerically model and assess the pollutant impacts on environmental risks and sustainability, as it is the premise for restoring soil quality, ensuring reasonable controls for soil and human health issues, and sustaining agro-ecological service function. For this Special Issue, we invite papers that include but are not restricted to the following topics about agricultural soil.

• High-tech in agricultural soil pollution mapping, monitoring, and assessment.
• Causes, status, and pollution mechanisms of agricultural soil pollution.
• Quantitative relationship among the input, accumulation, transportation, transformation, and pollution status of agricultural soil pollutants.
• Impacts of agricultural soil pollution on agricultural product safety, human health, and ecological sustainability.
• Numerical simulation and scenario analysis of agricultural soil pollution.
• Controlling and remediation approaches of agricultural soil pollution.
