SOIL invites submissions for a special issue (SI) on Agrogeophysics: illuminating soil's hidden dimensions. This SI aims to explore the interdisciplinary field of agrogeophysics, which is dedicated to advancing our understanding of the noninvasive mapping of soil properties; monitoring soil–plant–atmosphere processes as well as their interactions with crop growth and their responses to management practices; and, hence, supporting sustainable agriculture. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that integrate agrogeophysics with soil science and related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • soil–plant–atmosphere interactions,
  • applications of geophysical techniques to root phenotyping,
  • hydrological processes and soil water dynamics,
  • soil health assessment and management strategies,
  • sustainable agriculture and precision farming,
  • geospatial analysis and remote sensing in soil science,
  • coupled modelling of soil processes and related geophysical data,
  • new pedophysical relationships relating soil properties to geophysical properties,
  • socio-economic implications of agrogeophysics,
  • emerging technologies and innovations in soil monitoring and management,
  • geophysics as a tool for envirotyping.

Review process: all papers of this special issue underwent the regular interactive peer-review process of SOIL handled by guest editors designated by the SOIL executive editors.
