SOIL BIOLOGY & BIOCHEMISTRY

《土壤生物学与生物化学》发表具有国际意义的原创、具有科学挑战性的研究论文，描述和解释土壤中的生物过程。这些包括将这些知识应用于土壤和环境质量问题的可能性，因为这些研究使我们了解到土壤生物学和生物化学在调节土壤功能、农业可持续性和生态系统服务方面的作用。土壤生物的生态学和生化过程、它们对环境的影响以及它们与植物的相互作用是主要课题。新分子、微观和分析技术在理解和解释种群和群落动态方面的应用具有重要意义。该杂志还发表了对当代研究的最新评论，这些评论提出了重要和新颖的假设，以及对土壤中生命的特定和经常有争议的方面的评论和争论。范围土壤生物学与生物化学出版具有国际意义的科学研究论文，描述和解释土壤系统中发生的基本生物学和生物化学特征和过程。重点是对原始研究的实质性推进或指导我们对土壤如何发挥作用的力学基础的理解。如果文章对土壤生物学和生物化学在调节土壤功能方面的作用提供了独特的见解，就可能涉及将基础知识应用于应用问题。主要题目的例子包括:所有土壤生物(包括病毒)的生态学土壤生物学如何与土壤理化性质和过程相互作用，以调节地下功能土壤生物群与植物之间的关系和功能相互作用土壤生物在时空尺度上对生态系统动力学的影响SBB还强调应用分子、微观和分析技术以及建模方法来理解、解释和可视化土壤功能。以技术为重点的论文必须具有特别高的新颖性或重要性。此外，该杂志出版了最新的评论，考虑当代研究和综合知识，以提供更好的理解在土壤系统功能中的生物作用。

Soil Biology & Biochemistry publishes original, scientifically challenging research articles of international significance that describe and explain 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.SCOPEThe 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 functionsRelationships and functional interactions between soil biota and plantsThe effects of soil organisms on ecosystem dynamics across spatial and temporal scalesSBB 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.
