Evaluation and Utilization of Subtropical and Tropical Soil Resources

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Subtropical and tropical soil resources play a vital role in global food security, ecosystem stability, biodiversity conservation, and climate regulation. However, these soil resources are increasingly threatened by a range of challenges, including land degradation, soil erosion, acidification, nutrient depletion, salinization, contamination, and the impacts of climate change. The evaluation, conservation, and sustainable utilization of subtropical and tropical soils require interdisciplinary collaboration among the fields of soil science, agronomy, ecology, environmental science, geography, and land resource management.

This Topic seeks to collect contributions on the most recent advances in the assessment, management, and sustainable utilization of subtropical and tropical soil resources. Topics of interest include issues related to soil quality evaluation, digital soil mapping, land suitability assessment, soil fertility improvement, carbon sequestration, soil and water conservation, restoration of degraded soils, sustainable agricultural use, ecosystem service enhancement, and innovative approaches for the efficient use and long-term protection of subtropical and tropical soil resources.

We are pleased to invite you to send your contributions to this multidisciplinary Topic. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
