Pedobiologia

Journal Title：Pedobiologia

Pedobiologia publishes peer reviewed articles describing original work in the field of soil ecology, which includes the study of soil organisms and their interactions with factors in their biotic and abiotic environments.

Analysis of biological structures, interactions, functions, and processes in soil is fundamental for understanding the dynamical nature of terrestrial ecosystems, a prerequisite for appropriate soil management. The scope of this journal consists of fundamental and applied aspects of soil ecology; key focal points include interactions among organisms in soil, organismal controls on soil processes, causes and consequences of soil biodiversity, and aboveground-belowground interactions.

We publish:

original research that tests clearly defined hypotheses addressing topics of current interest in soil ecology (including studies demonstrating nonsignificant effects);

descriptions of novel methodological approaches, or evaluations of current approaches, that address a clear need in soil ecology research;

innovative syntheses of the soil ecology literature, including metaanalyses, topical in depth reviews and short opinion/perspective pieces, and descriptions of original conceptual frameworks; and

short notes reporting novel observations of ecological significance.

Pedobiologia 发表同行评审文章，介绍土壤生态学领域的原创研究，包括土壤生物及其与生物和非生物环境中的因素相互作用的研究。

分析土壤中的生物结构、相互作用、功能和过程对于理解陆地生态系统的动态性质至关重要，这是适当土壤管理的先决条件。本期刊的范围包括土壤生态学的基础和应用方面；重点包括土壤中生物之间的相互作用、生物对土壤过程的控制、土壤生物多样性的原因和后果以及地上-地下相互作用。

我们发表：

原创研究，测试明确定义的假设，解决当前土壤生态学感兴趣的主题（包括显示不显著影响的研究）；

描述新方法或评估当前方法，解决土壤生态学研究的明确需求；

土壤生态学文献的创新综合，包括荟萃分析、专题深入评论和简短的意见/观点文章，以及原始概念框架的描述；以及

简短报告具有生态意义的新观察结果。

Pedobiologia创刊于1961年，由Urban und Fischer Verlag Jena出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖环境科学 - 生态学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 36周，或约稿 约4.8周，影响因子指数2，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
