Resources, environment, food, and sustainable development(REFS) are the topics of the world. There are many factors inthe current world that limit plant productivity and resourcesutilization including objective and subjective aspects. Moreefforts should be made to know the physiological mecha-nisms for plants responding to abiotic stresses such as salt,heat, drought, cold, and UV-B, which have been extensivelyinvestigated under increasing global climate change. Howto efficiently use bioresources and protect and constructeco-environment for sustainable development is the greatestchallenge. As known, plants can provide human beings withrenewable energy, food, and materials and are the base forsustainable development in different forms around the world.The other related issues are bioresources efficient utilizationand eco-environmental construction. So, these major globalchallenges are the precondition of our sustainable survival.
Plants have evolved different mechanisms for adaptingthemselves to different stress during long-term natural evolu-tion and domestic pressure, which at least include molecular,biochemical, physiological, cellular, organ, tissue, anatomy,individual, and ecological scales. The physiological level isvery important as it is the key for farmers to fertilize andmanage crops. More recent progress related with molec-ular biology and metabolism and bioresources and eco-environment has also taken place for the past 20 years.How to regulate plant-soils relationship for sustainable plantproductivity at precise level has a long way to go not only
in agriculture but also in environmental sciences. In thetopic issue, many papers are devoted to this field such assoil, microbiological organisms, green-house gas, vegetationrestoration, and salt soil improvement with more potentialmeasures. Soil resources utilization is another importantaspect. In soil P bioavailability is a key issue. In this specialissue, some papers have been devoted to this issue and its rolein eco-restoration.
