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 发表同行评议文章，描述土壤生态学领域的原创性工作，其中包括研究土壤生物及其与生物和非生物环境中因素的相互作用。

分析土壤中的生物结构、相互作用、功能和过程是了解陆地生态系统动态特性的基础，也是适当土壤管理的先决条件。该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、土壤过程的生物控制、土壤生物多样性的原因和后果以及地上-地下相互作用。

我们发布：

原始研究，测试明确定义的假设，解决当前土壤生态学感兴趣的主题（包括证明不显着影响的研究）；

描述新的方法学方法，或对当前方法的评估，以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，包括元分析、深入的专题评论和简短的意见/观点文章，以及对原始概念框架的描述；和

简短的笔记报告生态意义的新观察。
