We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Soil Science ‘Women in Pedometrics, Soil Health and Security’ series of article collections.
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Soil Science is proud to offer this platform to promote the work research of women scientists, across Pedometrics related to soil health or soil security.
The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Pedometric research and presents advances in theory, experiment modelling approach, and methodology with applications to compelling problems specifically focused on soil degradation, land degradation neutrality, soil functions, soil’s carbon capacity and health, and security to maintain soils resilience.
Please note: to be considered for this collection, the lead first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman. Author teams of woman scientists are especially encouraged to submit an article. Authors are invited to provide a brief bio (>400 words) emphasizing their experience, background, and vision as a woman in STEM. Every submission will be reviewed by women scientists and researchers from around the world.
