Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the management and improvement of soil quality and health within agricultural systems. Research investigates the impact of various practices, such as organic matter addition, tillage systems, residue management, intercropping, and fertilizer application, on soil properties like organic carbon content, nutrient availability, structure, and microbial activity. The journal also covers methods for assessing and monitoring soil health, including digital soil mapping and the effects of land use changes on soil carbon dynamics and nutrient cycling.
