Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Sustainability is launching a Special Issue on "Soil Remediation and Restoration for Environmental Sustainability" and invites researchers, experts, and professionals from research institutions, universities, national and international organizations, and enterprises to contribute their research achievements in this field. With the acceleration of global industrialization and urbanization, soil contamination has become a significant challenge affecting environmental sustainability and human health. As an essential component of environmental systems, soil quality directly impacts food security, ecosystem health, and water resource protection. In recent decades, soil resources have been facing unprecedented pressures, resulting in widespread degradation and pollution. Based on the above, it is of paramount importance to develop innovative approaches for soil remediation and restoration under various anthropogenic interventions. This Special Issue aims to explore recent advances in soil decontamination and environmental sustainability, emphasizing machine learning applications in pollutant prediction, novel soil amendments, the environmental behavior of emerging contaminants, and saline–alkali soil improvement technologies.
