Earth Critical Zone is an international academic journal, with Editors-in-Chief Academician Jia-Bao Zhang, Academician Cong-Qiang Liu, and Professor Jian-Ming Xu, and Executive Editor Professor Bao-Jing Gu. The journal is co-hosted by Zhejiang University and Tianjin University, and published in collaboration with Elsevier, providing open access to research findings for readers. There are no publication fees for the first three years.
Studying the Earth’s Critical Zone and its interactions is of paramount importance, as it encompasses the soil, water, atmosphere, and biota from the surface to the underlying bedrock, forming a complex ecological network that sustains human life. The journal covers a wide range of research areas, including but not limited to soil health, plant nutrition cycles, hydrology, environmental protection, ecology, and socioeconomics.
