The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research: The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.

Soil Advances

ISSN: 2950-2896

Soil Advances publishes soil research on all aspects of soil science including soil physics, biology, pedometrics, and chemistry. The journal welcomes local and regional studies as well as field and lab-based research. The journal publishes research articles, and reviews as well as short communications, data, methods, software papers concerning all types of soils.

Soil Biology & Biochemistry

ISSN: 0038-0717
5 Year impact factor: 10.2
Impact factor: 9.7

AIMS Soil Biology & Biochemistry publishes original, scientifically challenging research articles of international significance that describe and provide insight into biological processes occurring in soil. These include the possible applications of such knowledge to issues of soil and environmental quality - insofar as such studies inform our understanding of the role of soil biology and biochemistry in mediating soil functions, agricultural sustainability and ecosystem services. The ecology and biochemical processes of soil organisms, their effects on the environment and their interactions with plants are major topics. The applications of new molecular, microscopic and analytical techniques to understanding and explaining population and community dynamics is of great interest. The journal also publishes state-of-the-art reviews of contemporary research that present significant and novel hypotheses, as well as comments and arguments about specific and often controversial aspects of life in the soil. SCOPE The scope of Soil Biology & Biochemistry publishes scientific research articles of international significance which describe and explain fundamental biological and biochemical features and processes occurring in soil systems. The emphasis is on original research which substantively advances or directs our understanding of the mechanistic basis of how soils function. Articles may involve applications of basic knowledge to applied issues if they provide distinct insight into the role of soil biology and biochemistry in regulating soil functions. Some examples of major topics include: The ecology of all soil organisms (including viruses) How soil biology interacts with soil physical and chemical properties and processes to regulate belowground functions Relationships and functional interactions between soil biota and plants The effects of soil organisms on ecosystem dynamics across spatial and temporal scales SBB also emphasizes the application of molecular, microscopic, and analytical techniques and modelling approaches to understand, explain and visualise soil functioning. Technique-focused papers must involve a particularly high degree of novelty or significance. In addition, the journal publishes state-of-the-art reviews that consider contemporary research and synthesise knowledge to provide enhanced understanding of biotic roles in soil system functioning.

Soil Security

ISSN: 2667-0062

Soil security is the ability for soil to sustain functions to provide planetary services and human wellbeing. The journal of Soil Security (The Global Journal of Soil Security Research) aims to publish papers covering all facets of this far-reaching definition. In particular, the journal focuses on uni-disciplinary and multidisciplinary evidence-based research on all aspects of soil security. Disciplines may include natural, economic, social and political sciences. The journal covers four thematic areas: Soil security dimensions which are soil capability (=soil quality), condition (=soil health, conservation, regeneration, degradation and pollution), capital (production, natural, conservation), connectivity (= soil awareness, education, social licensing) and codification (=soil governance, policy, regulation, law). Soil functions which cover the range of functions which soil performs to sustain humanity and planetary system functioning. These are inter alia being a substrate to support plant growth, regulating water and nutrient cycling, being a store and filter for contaminants, being able to sequester carbon, and supporting a diversity of organisms. Global existential challenges and nexus. Links between soil and climate change, food security, water security, energy security, human health, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The UN sustainable development goals including Zero Hunger, Good Health, Clean Water and Sanitation, Climate Change Policy, Life on Land. Other international instruments, e.g., UNCCD's Land Degradation Neutrality, UNFAO's Global Soil Partnership. In any of the work, the focus should be on soil.
