Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ecological and environmental restoration is the process of improving the quality of the ecological environment, achieving sustainable use of natural resources, solving environmental pollution and restoring the natural ecological balance of areas that have been negatively affected by anthropogenic activities or natural processes. It is of great significance to humanity. Soil is an important influencing and assessment factor for ecological and environmental restoration processes, especially in the ecological and environmental restoration of abandoned metal mining sites, ecological restoration of desert, ecological restoration of the Loess Plateau and remediation of polluted soils. Therefore, studies of physical, chemical and biological properties of soil for the purpose of ecological and environmental restoration and studies carried out during such processes are of great importance. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances about soils in the field of ecological and environmental restoration.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Physical, chemical and biological properties of soil for the ecological and environmental restoration of abandoned metal mining sites;
- Physical, chemical and biological properties of soil for the ecological restoration of desert;
- Physical, chemical and biological properties of soil for the ecological restoration of the Loess Plateau;
- Heavy metal pollution and remediation of soils.
