Special Issue in tribute to the soil scientist Jaume Porta Casanellas, also including works derived from RENS2023 - XXXIII National Soil Meeting in Navarre, Spain (his last Congress).

Jaume co-founded and served as the secretary of the Editorial Board of the Spanish Journal of Soil Science and was a former president of the Spanish Society of Soil Science.

This Special Issue of the Spanish Journal of Soil Science (Impact Factor 2.0 and Citescore 2.2) is open to submissions on any aspect of Soil Science and Environmental Sciences, in tribute to Professor Jaume Porta Casanellas.

As he passed away in September 2023, just a few days after actively participating in his last scientific congress (RENS2023, Navarre, Spain), the Special Issue is also open to contributions directly related to this scientific meeting and sessions.
