Geoderma

(ISSN 1872-6259)

Aims & Scope

Scope

Geoderma - the global journal of soil science - welcomes authors, readers and soil research from all parts of the world, encourages worldwide soil studies, and embraces all aspects of soil science and its associated pedagogy. The journal particularly welcomes interdisciplinary work focusing on dynamic soil processes and functions across space and time.

Instructions for authors

Geoderma aims to stimulate cooperation and understanding among workers in the different fields of soil science by bringing together papers from the entire field of soil research rather than emphasizing any single sub-discipline. The journal publishes primary studies, reviews as well as scientific correspondence with respect to all types of soils, including agricultural, forest, and urban soils. We particularly welcome interdisciplinary work focusing on soil processes and functions across space and time. In order to facilitate extrapolation of published results, we strongly encourage our authors to include a soil classification according to the World Reference Base for Soil Resources and, if appropriate, a published national classification system.
