Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Geoderma publishes research on soil science, focusing on soil properties, processes, and their interactions with the environment. Recent articles investigate soil organic carbon dynamics under various land management practices, including tillage, fire disturbance, and nitrogen deposition. The journal also covers research on soil physical properties like hydraulic conductivity and water retention, as well as the characterization of soil components such as mineral-associated organic matter and phytoliths. Studies explore the influence of soil properties on greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient cycling, and heavy metal distribution, often employing advanced analytical techniques and modeling approaches.
