工业化、城镇化和农业集约化等已导致全球土壤环境面临巨大压力，而土壤污染问题将引起农作物中污染物超标，周围居民的人体健康受到严重威胁。中国环境保护部和国土资源部于2014年4月17日发布了“全国土壤污染状况公报”，明确指出中国土壤环境状况整体不容乐观。中国国务院于2016年5月28日发布了“土壤污染防治行动计划”，计划将加强中国的土壤污染防治工作，对已受到污染的土壤将进行风险管控或修复。众所周知，土壤类型众多、组成复杂、性质多样，所以深入开展相关的科学研究将对于正确认识污染物在土壤中的各种物理、化学和生物学过程，制定土壤环境质量标准和发展可针对不同类型土壤、不同污染物及不同污染程度的修复技术具有重要意义。
Pedosphere（土壤圈）作为国际土壤学领域的重要学术期刊之一，拟组织一期“土壤环境与污染修复”的专刊，文章类型包括综述和研究论文。论文投稿请通过在线系统（网址为http://pedosphere.issas.ac.cn, https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/pedosphere, 或 https://cn.manuscriptcentral.com/pedosphere)，投稿时请注明为专刊。投稿截止日为2016年10月31日。本专刊拟于2017年上半年刊出。所有投稿论文将进行正常程序的审稿，本专刊录用的论文将免收版面费。欢迎大家踊跃投稿。

Call for Papers---Special Issue on Soil Environment and Pollution Remediation
Due to the fast development of industrialization and urbanization, along with intensive farming on arable land, the global soil environment has been under considerable pressure. According to the “National Soil Pollution Survey” co-released by PRC Ministry of Environmental Protection and PRC Ministry of Land and Resources on April 17, 2014, the overall conditions of soil environment in China are not optimistic. Soil contamination has resulted in the pollutant exceedances in crops and threatened human health and ecosystems. To address the soil contamination issues in China, the State Council of China released the “Action Plan on Prevention and Control of Soil Contamination” on May 28, 2016, which aims to protect the uncontaminated land and implement risk management and remediation of contaminated soil.
Conducting in-depth soil research can be very challenging due to the impact of different soil types and properties as well as complex soil compositions. Therefore, it is of significant importance to share (1) new findings of the physical, chemical and biological processes in soil, (2) new practices in the establishment of soil environmental quality standards, and (3) innovations in the development of remediation technologies. As a major international journal in soil science, PEDOSPHERE is calling for contributions for a special issue on soil environment and pollution remediation. Both review and research papers are welcome. Please submit your manuscript online at http://pedosphere.issas.ac.cn, https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/pedosphere, or https://cn.manuscriptcentral.com/pedosphere, and indicate that your submitted manuscript is for this special issue. Every submitted manuscript will be peer-reviewed under the standard procedure and each accepted paper will be published free of charge. The paper submission deadline is October 31, 2016 and the special issue is scheduled to be published in early 2017.
Guest editors for this special issue include Prof. Zhou Dongmei (Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences), Prof. Song Xin (Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences), Prof. Zhao Fangjie (Nanjing Agricultural University, China), Prof. Gu Baohua (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA).
