Special Section: Soil as Complex Systems

We invite submission of papers related to this challenging and vital topic, where research can address problems understanding scaling, feedbacks, and nonlinear dynamics of complex, interdependent soil hydrologic and biogeochemical processes controlling carbon and nutrients cycling. We also invite papers describing modern imaging and modeling techniques, and conceptualization in terms of complexity, which discuss how to potentially aid in understanding complex soil systems. The special section will include papers from the Complex Soil Systems Conference, but we are also soliciting contributions from other interested scientists.
