Earth Critical Zone

  • ISSN: 2950-4767
Earth Critical Zone (ECZ) is a journal dedicated to publishing research and review papers that delve into the dynamic interactions between rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms which collectively shape the Earth's surface. This journal addresses the pressing challenges of our time, including food security, environmental pollution, ecological degradation, climate change, and the quest for sustainable development. It recognizes the necessity of integrated efforts from a diverse array of disciplines from natural sciences but also contributions from social scientists and engineers.ECZ is committed to advancing novel research in a range of fields including soil science, biology, hydrology, environmental science, ecology, and socioeconomics. Its primary goals are twofold: firstly, to enhance our fundamental understanding of the processes affecting life in the critical zone, extending from the tips of the trees to the bedrock, and their interactions with various environmental processes; and secondly, to pinpoint practices and policies that preserve the health and functionality of Earth's critical zone. The main research areas covered by the journal include but are not limited to:Soil HealthPlant Nutrient CyclingHydrologyEnvironmental ProtectionEcologySocioeconomicsThrough its publications, ECZ aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of the critical zone and contribute to the development of strategies that ensure the long-term health and well-being of our planet.
