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; andshort notes reporting novel observations of ecological significance.

Pedobiologia发表了同行评议的文章，描述了土壤生态学领域的原创工作，包括研究土壤生物及其与生物和非生物环境中的因素之间的相互作用。分析土壤中的生物结构、相互作用、功能和过程是理解陆地生态系统动态特性的基础，是进行适当土壤管理的先决条件。这本杂志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，对土壤过程的生物控制，土壤生物多样性的原因和后果，以及地上和地下的相互作用。我们发布:对当前土壤生态学中感兴趣的主题(包括表明非显著影响的研究)进行明确定义的假设进行测试的原始研究;描述新的方法学方法，或评价当前的方法，以满足土壤生态学研究的明确需要;创新性地综合土壤生态学文献，包括元分析、专题深度综述和简短的观点/视角文章，以及对原始概念框架的描述;和报告具有生态意义的新观测的短笔记。
