Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on soil science, encompassing its physical, chemical, and biological properties, and their interactions with the environment. It addresses soil management, conservation, and the impact of various practices and environmental factors on soil health and agricultural productivity. The scope includes studies on soil water retention, salinity, acidity, nutrient cycling, carbon dynamics, and the effects of amendments like biochar and manure. Research also covers soil degradation, erosion, heavy metal contamination, and the influence of land use and climate change on soil ecosystems. Methodologies often involve field experiments, laboratory analyses, and spatial modeling.
