Early-career scientists make important contributions to science. Many have studied post-graduate degrees under the direction of experienced researchers, applying novel techniques to persistent scientific problems of importance. During the beginning stages of their career, it is important to establish themselves in the research community by building a network of peers and collaborators and disseminating their invaluable research.
This Research Topic will showcase the high-quality work of Ph.D. students and post-graduate researchers in the early stages of their careers within the field of Soil Processes. Open Access publications in this collection will reach an international readership, placing a spotlight on their significant contribution to the field and helping to pave the way for future research collaboration. We aim to present advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems whilst placing a spotlight on the future leaders in soil research. Today's young researchers are confronted with many interrelated issues (climate change, soil degradation, etc.), and can bring a new perspective, crossing different disciplines (soil biology, physics, chemistry).
We welcome contributions across a broad range of themes including
• Biogeochemical cycling and environmental monitoring
• Soil conservation
• Soil physics, chemistry, biology, fertility
• Soil contamination and remediation
• Soil health and soil ecology
• Soil degradation monitoring and processes
Contributors have been nominated by the Editorial team and have been working in soil research for less than 10 years. New authors in the early stage of their academic career, including Ph.D. students, are welcome to register their interest in participating and can be the lead author or co-author on their papers. We also welcome our experienced peers to recommend their junior colleagues to register and take part in this Research Topic.
