Integrated Soil Management

<p>Soil as a living system plays a fundamental role in sustainable development making a decisive contribution to ecosystem services. Through its dynamics it influences and is influenced by the contexts that surround it. In particular through carbon farming practices soil can contribute to carbon sequestration and thus mitigate the effects of climate change and consequent global warming. In this context this special issue contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between the various soil dynamics and other dimensions including socio-economic ones from a perspective that can serve as a basis for integrated soil management. The contributions received are scientific insights that allow for an overall framework for agricultural production soil composition greenhouse gas emissions and more sustainable development.</p>
