• Rhizosphere processes are a recurring subject, and the journal follows the exchanges that take place in the thin layer around a root.根际过程是反复出现的题目，该刊追踪根系周围薄层中发生的交换。

• Soil organic matter and carbon sequestration are covered, and the journal carries work on the way management changes the carbon held in soil.土壤有机质与碳固存得到覆盖，该刊刊载管理方式如何改变土壤碳储量的研究。

• Soil physics is treated at the level of structure, water and heat, and the journal reports on the measurement of these properties in the field.土壤物理在结构、水分与热量层面得到处理，该刊报道这些性质在田间的测定。

• Fertiliser practice is examined, and the journal carries studies of the efficiency with which crops take up applied nutrients.施肥实践受到考察，该刊刊载作物对所施养分吸收效率的研究。

• Soil biology is admitted, and the journal takes work on microbial communities and on their part in the turnover of nutrients.土壤生物学也在接纳之列，该刊收载微生物群落及其在养分周转中作用的研究。

• Salinity and sodicity are recurring problems that the journal addresses, and work on the reclamation of affected land is admitted.盐化与碱化是该刊反复处理的问题，关于受影响土地改良的工作也在接纳之列。

• Studies that pair a field trial with a laboratory experiment are welcomed, and the journal favours work that reaches beyond a single site.把田间试验与实验室实验配对的考察受到欢迎，该刊偏好超出单一地点的研究。
