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 發表同行評審文章，介紹土壤生態學領域的原創研究，包括土壤生物及其與生物和非生物環境中的因素相互作用的研究。

分析土壤中的生物結構、相互作用、功能和過程對于理解陸地生態系統的動態性質至關重要，這是適當土壤管理的先決條件。本期刊的范圍包括土壤生態學的基礎和應用方面；重點包括土壤中生物之間的相互作用、生物對土壤過程的控制、土壤生物多樣性的原因和后果以及地上-地下相互作用。

我們發表：

原創研究，測試明確定義的假設，解決當前土壤生態學感興趣的主題（包括顯示不顯著影響的研究）；

描述新方法或評估當前方法，解決土壤生態學研究的明確需求；

土壤生態學文獻的創新綜合，包括薈萃分析、專題深入評論和簡短的意見/觀點文章，以及原始概念框架的描述；以及

簡短報告具有生態意義的新觀察結果。

Pedobiologia創刊于1961年，由Urban und Fischer Verlag Jena出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環境科學 - 生態學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 36周，或約稿 約4.8周，影響因子指數2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
