Dear Colleagues,

Soil health is an indicator of the soil’s fitness to support crop growth without resulting in soil degradation and environmental health, which provides an overall picture of the condition of many soil properties and process leading to sustainable agriculture. Soil health changes slowly because of natural processes, such as weathering and much more rapidly under human activities. For example,soil health deteriorates mainly through excessive land use and over-farming practices. And it also suffers from erosion by wind and water, loss of organic matter, breakdown of soil structure, salinization, and chemical contamination. They are not independent but interactional. Todeal with these challenges, we have to know that Soil Organic Matter plays a significant role in maintaining soil health through conservation tillage, minimum tillage, no-tillage, cover cropping, biochar, organic amendments including biofertilizers. These practices store significant amount of Carbon preferably in the long-term pool to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable agriculture.

This Special Issue will accept reviews and full and short research papers within a broad range of interdisciplinary research concerning the soil health whether from natural or anthropogenic aspects with a focus on strategies towards Sustainability of Agricultural activities.
