Pedobiologia
International Journal of Soil Biology
Soil biology is a rapidly developing field in ecology and ecosystem studies. Analysis of biological structures, interactions, functions, and processes in soil is fundamental for understanding natural and managed terrestrial ecosystems. Such an understanding is a prerequisite for appropriate soil management. Pedobiologia publishes papers in the field of soil biology (soil zoology and soil microbiology). The scope of this journal consists in fundamental and applied aspects of soil biology. Structural characteristics of the community of soil biota, interactions of soil organisms and the effect of organisms on soil processes are key focal points. Preferentially experimental work is published but more theoretical, descriptive or methodological studies and review articles are also included.
