Journal Guide

The journal publishes papers interpreting the outcome of scholarly inquiry, investigation, modeling, or experimentation designed to develop new or revise existing concepts or techniques in any phase of soil science. Areas of coverage include soil physics and chemistry, soil biology and biochemistry, soil fertility and plant nutrition, pedology (genesis, morphology, and classification), soil and water management and conservation, mineralogy, and soil and plant analysis. Among the soils reported on besides cropland are forest and range soils and wetlands. The journal is available in on-line, print, and year-end CD-ROM format.

Soil Use and Management provides an international forum for those applying scientific principles to understand and solve important soil problems as they affect crop production and environmental issues. Published four times a year on behalf of British Society of Soil Science, Soil Use and Management contains highly relevant, original research and aims to communicate an understanding of management techniques for the sustainable use of land. Papers taking a broad view of 'use' and 'management' covering agriculture, forestry and amenity provision are accepted.

When it comes to assessing and mitigating contaminated soils and sediments, there is no substitute for having the very latest tools, techniques and methodologies at your fingertips to help you deal with these issues efficiently and cost-effectively. This is just the kind of essential expertise you'll only find in Soil and Sediment Contamination. This bimonthly, internationally peer-reviewed publication focuses on soil and sediment contamination from: * Sludges * Petroleum * Petrochemicals * Chlorinated hydrocarbons * Pesticides * Lead and other heavy metals Get detailed descriptions of all the latest and most efficient offsite and in situ remediation techniques, strategies for assessing health effects and hazards, and tips for dealing with everyday regulatory and legal issues. With the state-of-the-art tools that Soil and Sediment Contamination provides, you can successfully assess, mitigate, and solve both rural and urban soil contamination problems as efficiently and economically as possible. Receive scientific and technical information, data, and critical analysis in: * Analytical chemistry * Site assessment * Risk assessment issues * Environmental fate * Risk management * Environmental modeling * Regulatory programs and policies * Remediation technologies/Corrective actions * Legal considerations Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The Journal has a proud history of publishing quality papers in the fields of applied plant and soil sciences and has, since its inception, recorded a vast body of scientific information with particular reference to South Africa.

Subterranean Biology is an international journal published by Pensoft on behalf of the International Society for Subterranean Biology [SIBIOS] for the publication of original and significant contributions on all aspects of subterranean life. All published papers can be freely copied, downloaded, printed and distributed at no charge for the reader. Authors are thus encouraged to post the pdf files of published papers on their homepages or elsewhere to expedite distribution. There is no charge for color.

Urban Forestry and Urban Greening is a refereed, international journal aimed at presenting high-quality research with urban and peri-urban woody and non-woody vegetation and its use, planning, design, establishment and management as its main topics. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening concentrates on all tree-dominated (as joint together in the urban forest) as well as other green resources in and around urban areas, such as woodlands, public and private urban parks and gardens, urban nature areas, street tree and square plantations, botanical gardens and cemeteries.The journal welcomes fundamental and applied research papers, as well as review papers and short communications. Contributions should focus on one or more of the following aspects:Form and functions of urban forests and other vegetation, including aspects of urban ecology.Policy-making, planning and design related to urban forests and other vegetation.Selection and establishment of tree resources and other vegetation for urban environments.Management of urban forests and other vegetation.Original contributions of a high academic standard are invited from a wide range of disciplines and fields, including forestry, biology, horticulture, arboriculture, landscape ecology, pathology, soil science, hydrology, landscape architecture, landscape planning, urban planning and design, economics, sociology, environmental psychology, medicine, and education.Special attention will be given to interdisciplinary research as developed under the approaches of, for example, urban forestry, arboriculture, urban greening, urban ecology, urban health, urban agriculture, urban horticulture, urban silviculture, and community forestry.The papers should be written in a style that is understandable to specialists from other disciplines as well as interested policy-makers and higher-level practitioners.

Vadose Zone Journal welcomes original contributions, reviews, and opinion papers across a wide range of disciplines that involve the vadose zone, including those that address broad scientific and societal issues (e.g., climate change, biofuels, sustainability, nanotechnology).
