Soils and Human Health investigates the critical links between the agronomic, biologic, earth, and physical sciences, as well as social and political sciences and medicine. A better understanding of these critical links is essential to improving human and environmental health.
Read MoreThe Soils and Human Health section publishes high-quality fundamental, applied, and clinical research that investigates the links between soils and human health, a highly interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary subject area that crosses the agronomic, biologic, earth, and physical sciences as well as social and political sciences and medicine. A better understanding of these critical links is essential to improving human and environmental health. This forum solicits significant advances in areas including, but not limited to:
· Nutrient transfer from soils to humans through the food web
· Health issues resulting from exposures to hazardous chemicals through the soil system
· Climate change impacts on the soil system and impacts on human health
· Soil health/quality-human health connections
· Chemical interactions within the soil system that alter chemical composition and health risks
· Influence of soil biology on human health
· Soil-water interactions and influences on human health
· Impact of geophagy on human health
· Medicines derived from soil
· Public perception of soil and human health issues
· Ways to advance interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research collaborations
All studies must contribute to advancing our knowledge of the links between soil and human health. Papers that address links between the environment and human health but do not focus on the soil-human health connection should be submitted to other journals. Some of these may be suitable for our sister journal Frontiers in Environmental Science.
