The European Journal of Soil Biology
The European Journal of Soil Biology covers all aspects
of fundamental and applied soil biology relating to soil microbial and faunal ecology, and processes promoted by soil organisms. Soils
from managed and natural ecosystems of biomes worldwide are of interest, and the Journal is open to submissions from all parts of the
world.
An important aspect for elucidating the central role of soil organisms is to study their structural and functional diversity
and explore living conditions in heterogeneous biological and physico-chemical environments. Scales of study may range from soil aggregates
up to landscapes. Different levels of ecosystem structure may take into account individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems
themselves. Studies on relationships between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, the latter including soil fauna and roots with rhizospheres,
are highly relevant for this Journal.
Special emphases of the Journal relate to understanding the effect of global changes and human
impact due to agricultural, urban and industrial activities. In this context, studies on mitigating such changes and ameliorating soils
for sustainable use and maintenance of ecological functions are most welcome.
Studies may come from different disciplines including
molecular biology, genetics, eco-physiology, biogeography, and all aspects of microbial and faunal soil ecology.
Interdisciplinary
approaches with aspects of soil physics and chemistry, bioinformatics, geo-statistics, modelling, or evolutionary biology are highly
appreciated.
The journal willingly publishes original articles and mini-reviews. Authors intending to submit a mini-review should
contact the Editor-in-Chief in advance. The major criterion for selecting articles for publication is their scientific value and a general
interest for soil biologists and scientists in neighbouring fields of research.
