Soil Quality: Monitoring Attributes and Productivity

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The assessment of soil quality is essential for adequate soil management and ecosystem preservation as it provides valuable information to promote sustainability and productivity in agricultural systems, in addition to enhancing the environmental recovery of degraded areas. The following Topic, "Soil Quality: Monitoring Attributes and Productivity", will include studies on the characterization of the physical, chemical, and biological attributes of the soil under systems that adopt sustainable soil use and management practices. Submissions of research articles and reviews should address the following: soil structure, fertility, and biodiversity as indicators of ecological stability; the impacts of agricultural practices on soil attributes, focusing on fertility conservation, organic matter, and nutrient cycling; and the recovery of degraded areas, emphasizing soils affected by agricultural activities and mineral exploration. Studies proposing innovative methodologies for soil quality assessment, including geospatial techniques, environmental modeling, and biological indicators, are particularly welcome.
