Abstract

The First Joint Meeting on Soil and Plant System Sciences (SPSS 2019), titled "Natural and Human-Induced Impacts on the Critical Zone and Food Production", aimed at integrating different scientific backgrounds and topics flowing into the Critical Zone, where chemical, biological, physical, and geological processes work together to support life on the Earth's surface. The SPSS 2019 meeting gathered the thoughts and findings of scientists, professionals and individuals from different countries working in different research fields. This Special Issue comprises a selection of original works on the plant-related topics presented during this international meeting.
