  • Subsoils for Sustainable Agriculture

    This Collection encourages original research on integrating subsoil management into holistic agricultural practices, with an emphasis on site-specific approaches that consider the unique characteristics of each subsoil and its interaction with the topsoil. This includes the use of precision agriculture technologies to map and monitor subsoil properties, enabling targeted interventions that optimize subsoil health and function.

    • Ending plastic pollution

      Plastics are a crucial part of modern life, however tens of millions of tonnes of plastic waste is disposed of each year, much of which ultimately ends up in the ocean. In this Collection we showcase studies on understanding and mitigating (micro)plastic pollution, with a special focus on reducing plastic waste in the environment to coincide with 2024's upcoming binding UN treaty on Ending Plastic Pollution.
