Soil Conservation and Sustainability
A section of Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050).
Section Information
Soil Conservation is about solving the problems of land degradation, particularly soil erosion, as well as the prevention of reduced fertility caused by overusage, acidification, salinization, or other chemical soil contamination. It is the key to environmental sustainability, being essential for reducing climate change’s destructive impact worldwide, maintaining a balanced climate cycle, providing healthy ecosystems, ect., and it also creates economic opportunities,
This section aims to disseminate new knowledge and promote the practice of soil conservation. The main scope of the section Soil Conservation and Sustainability includes scientific research, policies, and technologies for the prediction, prevention, and remediation of soil resources.
Thematically, “Soil Conservation and Sustainability” includes:
- Soil conservation models, tools, and technologies;
- Soil health resources, indicators, assessment, and management;
- Soil erosion and its control (processes and control; soil erosion by water and wind);
- Soil erosion models;
- Soil contamination;
- Soil remediation;
- Soil ecosystem services;
- Sustainable development.
We welcome, in particular, contributions from early career researchers and propositions for Special Issues on a single, particular theme in the field of soil erosion and soil remediation.
