Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Pedobiologia publishes research on soil organisms and their ecological roles. Studies investigate the diversity, abundance, and community composition of soil fauna and microflora, including protists, termites, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, collembola, and nematodes. Research also examines the interactions of these organisms with soil properties, plant communities, and ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling and decomposition under various environmental conditions and land-use practices.
