Pedobiologia發(fā)表了同行評(píng)議的文章，描述了土壤生態(tài)學(xué)領(lǐng)域的原創(chuàng)工作，包括研究土壤生物及其與生物和非生物環(huán)境中的因素之間的相互作用。分析土壤中的生物結(jié)構(gòu)、相互作用、功能和過(guò)程是理解陸地生態(tài)系統(tǒng)動(dòng)態(tài)特性的基礎(chǔ)，是進(jìn)行適當(dāng)土壤管理的先決條件。這本雜志的范圍包括土壤生態(tài)學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)和應(yīng)用方面;重點(diǎn)包括土壤中生物之間的相互作用，對(duì)土壤過(guò)程的生物控制，土壤生物多樣性的原因和后果，以及地上和地下的相互作用。我們發(fā)布:對(duì)當(dāng)前土壤生態(tài)學(xué)中感興趣的主題(包括表明非顯著影響的研究)進(jìn)行明確定義的假設(shè)進(jìn)行測(cè)試的原始研究;描述新的方法學(xué)方法，或評(píng)價(jià)當(dāng)前的方法，以滿足土壤生態(tài)學(xué)研究的明確需要;創(chuàng)新性地綜合土壤生態(tài)學(xué)文獻(xiàn)，包括元分析、專題深度綜述和簡(jiǎn)短的觀點(diǎn)/視角文章，以及對(duì)原始概念框架的描述;和報(bào)告具有生態(tài)意義的新觀測(cè)的短筆記。

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; andshort notes reporting novel observations of ecological significance.
