Soil & Tillage Research

Soil & Tillage Research examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts will be considered on aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research: The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.

《Soil & Tillage Research》研究耕作和田间交通引起的土壤物理、化学和生物变化。 手稿将考虑土壤科学、物理学、技术、机械化和应用工程等方面，以实现生产力、环境质量和盈利能力之间的可持续平衡。以下是该杂志范围内合适主题的示例： 与耕作（包括免耕、少耕和直接钻孔）、灌溉和排水、作物和轮作、施肥、矿山弃土恢复以及土壤改良工艺相关的农业和生物系统工程。土壤变化对农作物的生长和产量、植物和根系的生长、土壤的结构和侵蚀、碳和养分的循环、温室气体排放、淋滤、径流以及影响环境质量的其他过程产生影响。耕作和田间交通响应、土壤、气候或地形影响、土壤变形过程、耕作工具、牵引装置、能源需求、经济、地表和地下水质量影响、耕作对杂草、病虫害控制的影响的表征或建模，以及他们的互动。
