Topical Collection Information:

Dear Colleagues,

Agricultural ecology fosters sustainable practices that protect and restore ecosystems while addressing global change through enhanced soil health and climate resilience. This special issue explores the pivotal role of soil and agricultural ecology in ecological protection, restoration, and global change response. It showcases innovative research and practices to enhance soil health, promote sustainable agriculture, and mitigate climate impacts.

This special issue delves into agricultural ecology's role in safeguarding ecosystems, restoring degraded lands, and responding to global change. It highlights innovative practices and research to promote soil health, biodiversity, and climate resilience for sustainable agriculture. We invite contributions from researchers, policymakers, agricultural practitioners, and environmental scientists to submit original research articles, review papers, case studies, or policy analyses that advance the understanding and application of soil and agricultural ecology in addressing ecological protection, restoration, and global change challenges.
