Notes to Authors

【2025年06期信息】

All

manuscripts should be submitted electronically via PEDOSPHERE Online

Editorial System (POES), the web-based online manuscript submission,

tracking, peer-review and editorial management system of PEDOSPHERE, at

http://pedosphere.issas.ac.cn, where a detailed information for

contributors to PEDOSPHERE is available. Please consult carefully the

style and layout of the latest issues of PEDOSPHERE and pay special

attention to the following notes:

General

PEDOSPHERE

is a peer-reviewed international periodical. PEDOSPHERE welcomes

submissions from scientists around the world under a broad scope of

topics relevant to timely, high quality original research findings,

especially up-to-date achievements and advances in the entire field of

soil science studies. It publishes mainly full-length research papers as

well as reviews, short communications, letters to the Editor and

special issues. Contributions must be written in English and should have

been neither published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. All

articles will undergo double-blind peer review prior to acceptance. The

Editorial Committee reserves the right to make the final decision on the

acceptance or rejection of the contribution.

The

Editors encourage brevity. A full-length research paper is generally

limited to 8 printed pages, a review paper should not exceed 14 printed

pages, and a short communication and a letter to the Editor must not

exceed 4 printed pages, including figures, tables and references. The

total number of illustrations and tables should not exceed seven.

Questions

and suggestions on PEDOSPHERE may be directed to the Editorial Office

of PEDOSPHERE, Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences,

P. O. Box 821, Nanjing 210008, People’s Republic of China. Tel.:

+86-25-8688 1235,Fax: +86-25-8688 1256; E-mail: pedosphere@issas.ac.cn,

Preparation of manuscripts

Manuscripts should be prepared using Microsoft Word. Manuscript pages must be numbered consecutively.

The International System of Units (SI) should be used for all the data as far as possible, but the abandoned units such as ˚A, bar, mmHg and Cal are not acceptable, and the following units are not permitted:% for plant nutrient or chemical element concentration—use mmol kg−1 or g kg−1;% for water content—use g kg−1;ppm for mass or volume—use mg kg−1 or mg L−1;meq for exchange capacity—use moles of charge per unit mass (cmolc kg−1);N or M for substance concentration—use mol L−1.

Abbreviations

should be used sparingly and must be defined at first mention in the

text, abstract, and each table and figure and used consistently

thereafter.

Nomenclature:

The Latin binomial or trinomial (in italics) and authority must be

included with the common name for all plants, insects, animals and

microorganisms at first mention in the abstract and the text. For soil

nomenclature, an international classification system (e.g., FAO-UNESCO

system or USDA Soil Taxonomy) may be included as reference,when a local

classification is presented.

Tables

and Illustrations should be numbered according to their sequence in the

text. Tables should not duplicate the results of the text and figures.

Authors should ensure that the data in the tables are consistent with

those cited in the relevant places in the text, and data have been

calculated correctly. Illustrations should be limited to the number

necessary for clarity and must not duplicate data given in tables or in

the text. All illustrations should be arranged at the end of the

manuscript, and their preferred positions should be indicated in the

text. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as

“Figure (abbreviated to ‘Fig.’)”. Each figure should have a caption.

Footnotes should be avoided, except to identify the corresponding author.

References

should include all published works referred to in the text and arranged

alphabetically by author without serial numbering. The author-year

system is used in the text. The reference list must not contain

unpublished observations, personal communications, personal

correspondences, unarchived materials obtained from the World Wide Web,

etc.

“Anonymous”

is not acceptable as an author. The publications in languages with

non-Latin alphabets should be translated into English, and for the

publications in languages other than English a notation such as “(in

German)”, “(in Japanese)”,“(in Chinese)” and “(in Russian)”

must be added behind the name of the periodical, proceedings or book.

Submissions

not conforming to the above guidelines may be returned to the authors.

Failure to return the manuscript revised strictly following the editor’s
