Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research (AEER) is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. This periodical is devoted to publishing high-quality peer-reviewed papers that describe the most significant and cutting-edge research in all areas of environmental science and engineering. Work at any scale, from molecular biology to ecology, is welcomed.
Main research areas include (but are not limited to):
- Atmospheric pollutants
- Air pollution control engineering
- Climate change
- Ecological and human risk assessment
- Environmental management and policy
- Environmental impact and risk assessment
- Environmental microbiology
- Ecosystem services, biodiversity and natural capital
- Environmental economics
- Control and monitoring of pollutants
- Remediation of polluted soils and water
- Fate and transport of contaminants
- Water and wastewater treatment engineering
- Solid waste treatment
Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research publishes a variety of article types (Original Research, Review, Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, etc.). We encourage authors to be succinct; however, authors should present their results in as much detail as necessary. Reviewers are expected to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.

About This Topic
Due to continuous input of chemical-based fertilizers or pesticides as well as emission of industrial influent containing toxic elements soils are contaminating and hampering soil nutritional regimes. In soil, toxic elements may replace plant’s nutrients and bind with compatible forms of essential nutrients and other soil components. It also deteriorates the soil quality index, including organic carbon, soil microbiome, bulk and particle density, water holding capacity, etc. However, recent developments in research offer valuable materials such as biochar, nanobiochar, enriched biochar and nanomaterials that could be helpful to remediate these toxic elements. Therefore, the present special issue is focusing on the potential of novel materials in soil health improvement. Research and review manuscripts are invited to deal with soil health improvement.
