Message from the Editor-in-ChiefSoil Systems (ISSN 2571-8789) is an international scientific peer-reviewed open access journal on soil science published quarterly online by MDPI. We invite submissions from authors according to the aims and scope of the journal described in more detail below. Soil Systems emphasizes the novel thematic components of our journal, where we provide a vehicle for studies that examine and unravel the complexity of soils, including processes contributing to their development or loss, to plant growth and water quality, and to their contribution to global elemental cycling.

Aims and ScopeSoil Systems (ISSN 2571-8789) is a new journal devoted to publishing articles focused on biological, chemical, and physical processes operating within soils and sediments. We are particularly interested in studies or review articles that examine (or describe) coupled processes operating within these complex media that control element cycling. Processes that impact on retention and release, transport, and microbial interactions in soils are also of interest.
Soils are crucial for life. They provide the growth medium for plants, a reservoir of water storage, a filtration system for removing pathogens and chemical contaminants from entrained and transported water, and they regulate global elemental cycles, impacting climate and nutrient availability. Soils are an intricate and complex assemblage of mineral, organic matter, water, air, and organisms that develop through the combined processes of additions (such as organic matter and dust), losses (e.g., erosion or solute leaching), internal transformations (e.g., mineral weathering and organic matter decomposition), and translocations (e.g., downward migration of clay particles and organic carbon). Processes operating within soils are inextricably an integration of physics, chemistry, and biology.
