Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Soil Research publishes studies on soil properties, processes, and management. Articles investigate the effects of amendments like biochar and organic matter on soil structure, water retention, and nutrient cycling. Research also explores soil acidity, salinity, and the impact of land use and agricultural practices on soil health, carbon sequestration, and greenhouse gas emissions. The journal covers methods for soil analysis, prediction of soil properties, and the influence of soil characteristics on plant growth and environmental quality.
