Scope

• The journal addresses the role of soil organisms and their interactions in relation to agricultural productivity, nutrient cycling and other soil processes, the maintenance of soil structure, and sustainability and fertility.本刊关注土壤生物及其相互作用与农业生产力、养分循环及其他土壤过程、土壤结构维持以及可持续性和肥力之间的关系。
• The impact of human activities and xenobiotics on soil biota, together with the bio(techno)logical control of soil-inhabiting pests and diseases, forms a second pillar.人类活动与外源化学物质对土壤生物的影响，以及土壤有害生物与病害的生物（技术）学防治，构成本刊的第二支柱。
• Studies deal with the involvement of soil organisms in soil health, fertility and sustainability in both human-managed systems such as agriculture and forestry and semi-natural environments.所收论文考察土壤生物在农业、林业等人工管理系统以及半自然环境的土壤健康、肥力与可持续性中的作用。
• Disciplines run from soil microbiology and microbial ecology, soil invertebrate zoology and ecology and root and rhizosphere ecology to soil science, soil biotechnology, ecotoxicology and nematology.学科覆盖面自土壤微生物学与微生物生态学、土壤无脊椎动物学与生态学、根与根际生态学，延伸至土壤科学、土壤生物技术、生态毒理学与线虫学。
• Entomology, plant pathology, agronomy and sustainable agriculture, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem modelling and food webs complete the list.昆虫学、植物病理学、农学与可持续农业、养分循环以及生态系统建模与食物网亦在其列。
• Preference is given to interdisciplinary articles that integrate two or more of these disciplines, while studies focused predominantly on plant responses without sufficient attention to soil organisms are usually not considered.凡能整合两个以上学科的交叉性论文将获优先考虑，而主要关注植物响应、对土壤生物着墨不足的研究通常不予考虑。

History

• The title was founded in 1994, with Volume 1 Issue 1 appearing in April 1994 and its editorial written by Clive A. Edwards of Ohio State University and L. Brussaard, Edwards going on to serve as editor-in-chief for fourteen years.本刊于 1994 年创刊，第 1 卷第 1 期于 1994 年 4 月问世，编辑文章由（俄亥俄州立大学）的（Clive A. Edwards）与（L. Brussaard）撰写，（Clive A. Edwards）此后连任主编 14 年。^[1]
• Frequency has widened with the field: three volumes a year around 2008 to 2010, twelve volumes a year from 2015, and 2025 ran from Volume 205 to Volume 216.刊期随学科发展而加密：2008 至 2010 年间一年三卷，2015 年起一年十二卷，2025 年为第 205 卷至第 216 卷。
• An announcement of 6 August 2026 states that the journal will become fully open access from 1 January 2027, with an article publishing charge of USD 3,800 for manuscripts submitted on or after 15 September 2026.2026 年 8 月 6 日的公告称，本刊将自 2027 年 1 月 1 日起转为完全开放获取，2026 年 9 月 15 日及以后投稿的论文录用后须缴纳 3,800 美元的文章处理费。
• Manuscripts submitted before that date keep the subscription model and pay nothing, so the title remains hybrid during the transition.该日期前投稿的稿件仍走订阅模式、无需付费，故过渡期内本刊保持混合出版。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.6, after 5.0 in 2024, 5.509 in 2022 and 4.046 in 2021, while CiteScore stands at 8.9.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.6，此前 2024 年为 5.0、2022 年为 5.509、2021 年为 4.046，CiteScore 则为 8.9。
• In the 2025 Journal Citation Reports the journal is Q1 in Soil Science, ranked 10/48, and it is indexed in Scopus, the Science Citation Index Expanded, SCImago Journal Rank and SNIP.在 2025 年度期刊引证报告中，本刊居土壤科学 Q1，排名 10/48，并被（Scopus）、（Science Citation Index Expanded）、（SCImago Journal Rank）与（SNIP）收录。
• Elsevier reports ten days from submission to first decision, 56 days to decision after review and 130 days to acceptance, with six more days from acceptance to online publication.（Elsevier）数据显示，投稿至首次决定约 10 天，送审至决定约 56 天，投稿至录用约 130 天，录用至在线发表再需 6 天。
