Dear Colleagues,

Soil is a complex part of the ecosystem, where different species interact, with physicochemical and geological processes occurring at different moments, playing a basic role on the survival of mankind. It sustains most of living organisms, being a source of mineral nutrients Soil is prone to contamination, with > 2 billion hectares degraded worldwide, and ~12 million hectares degraded each year. Soils, act as a sink of contaminants, what allows them to move downward, and reach subsurface and groundwater, being strongly influenced by soil physical and chemical characteristics. Human activities, such as agriculture, industry and transportation, are an important source of soil pollution and degradation. An appropriate integrated approach of soils is crucial to ensure environmental sustainability and human health.

In this section collection, both research and review papers are welcome, focusing on soils physical and chemical properties, including soil mineralogy, biology, and genesis, plant nutrition, environmental sustainability, among others.

We look forward to your contribution in areas of research related to Soil Physical and Chemical Properties.
