Preface
Mediterranean Soil Ecosystems (MSE) is a peer-reviewed series offormal scien-
tific publications of the Soil Science Society of Turkey (SSST). The SSST was
establishedin1964andpromotesresearchintosoilscienceandrelateddisciplines,
as well as developing a consensus for soil protection and use to sensitize gov-
ernments and the coming generations in Turkey.
Mediterranean Soil Ecosystems publishes original and review papers on the
global and regional scales concerning theoretical and experimental studies and
themes on soil ecosystems, soil and land degradation and desertification, agro-
ecosystem management, carbon dynamics and management systems and ancient
land use in the Mediterranean environment and context, palaeopedology and ge-
opedology, and the changing soils and soils of tomorrow and their probable use
underclimatechangescenarios.Specialsectionsaredevotedtocurrentnewsfrom
the International Union of Soil Sciences, the Soil Science Societies of the Medi-
terranean riparian countries, and the Soil Science Society of Turkey (SSST).
Mediterranean Soil Ecosystems also aims to improve communication and
develop holistic integrated approaches among different disciplines seeking the
sustainable management of the environment. Contributions are drawn from soil
and earth sciences, agriculture, forestry, biology, botany, climatology, ecology,
ecological economics, environmental sciences and engineering, environmental
law, carbon policies, and information sciences related to environmental integrity.
Mediterranean Soil Ecosystems publishes studies by academic researchers and
professionals at universities, including those in business, government, research
institutes, and public interest groups, presenting a wide range of approaches.
