The Brazilian Journal of Soil Science (RBCS) has just launched an induced call for articles for an issue that aims to present the state of the art of research into Archaeoanthrosols, Urban Soils, Technosols and all variants of anthropogenic soils, with an emphasis on Latin American tropical and subtropical regions.
We welcome submissions from all researchers working in the field of anthropogenic soils, in all its different forms. With this initiative, the RBCS aims to reveal a wealth of current information on these important soils, which are not yet included in the Brazilian Soil Classification System (SiBCS), in an order that can systematize their classification framework in Brazil.
Up to 15 articles will be published, including: review articles, research articles and scientific notes.
Submission deadline: December 31, 2024
Articles should highlight the contribution to cutting-edge research on Archaeoanthrosols, Urban Soils, Technosols and all variants of anthropogenic soils, with an emphasis on the tropics and subtropics of Latin America.
Get to know the editors of this special issue and the full instructions.
