Soil Processes Controlling Contaminant Dynamics

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on how biogeochemical, hydrological, and physical processes impact the fate and transport of both organic and inorganic contaminants in soils and sediments. We are inviting contributions, covering multiple scales (micro- to field-scale) and topics influencing contaminant dynamics, such as, but not limited to, molecular mechanisms, interfacial processes, redox processes, chemical speciation, interactions with microbial communities, soil organic matter interactions, pore scale processes, advances in analytical and experimental techniques, reactive transport, theoretical and empirical models, rhizosphere processes, soil-to-plant transfer, remediation, and restoration. Both original and review articles are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Soil Systems is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
