Soil and global change concerns the relationship between soils and the large-scale environmental shifts affecting the planet, including climate change, land-use change, and pressures on food production. Soil is both affected by and a contributor to global change: it stores large amounts of carbon and nutrients, supports the plants that feed a growing population, and responds to changes in temperature, rainfall, and management through processes such as erosion, degradation, and altered fertility. Understanding how soils behave under these changing conditions is essential for sustaining agricultural productivity, conserving land, and managing the cycling of carbon and nutrients. Research within this journal's scope on agronomy addresses these connections, including the nexus of climate change, land degradation, and food security, the role of crop residue retention and bio-fertilizers in sustaining soil, and the monitoring of soil and crop systems to maintain productivity under environmental stress. Together this work examines how to keep soils healthy and productive in a changing world. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to soil and global change and the sustainable management of soil under environmental and climatic pressures.
