Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adsorption processes in soil and sediments influence the partitioning of nutrient oxyanions, cations, and pollutant ions between solid (soil) and liquid (water) phases and thus change their mobility in the ecosystem. Understanding the adsorption mechanisms of nutrient and pollutant ions is a key to predicting their fate in the environment. Various other factors and processes can also affect the partitioning mechanisms. For example, oxidation/reduction processes, the presence of co-adsorbing or competing ions, microbial activity, temperature fluctuations, etc.
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts on the adsorption mechanisms of nutrient or pollutant ions on soils, sediments, or environmentally relevant synthetic soil minerals. The research can be focused on only macroscopic adsorption study or with the detailed spectroscopic characterizations of the mechanisms or a combination of both.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind 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 quarterly 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.
