South African Journal of Plant and Soil

期刊简介：The South African Journal of Plant and Soil publishes original articles and commentaries on research on fundamental and applied soil and plant sciences. The journal has a geographical focus on the African continent but welcomes contributions from other parts of the world if these are of wider international significance. Original research papers, short communications, review articles, and commentaries on papers recently published will be considered for publication in the Journal. Manuscripts considered should address aspects of: Agronomic or horticultural research including breeding and genetics, production and management, physiology, and product quality; Soil science including biology, chemistry and physics, classification, fertility, mineralogy, (hydro-)pedology, and soil and land evaluation; Weed science; Agro-meteorology; Agro-ecology; Forage, pasture and turfgrass science; Plant-soil systems modelling; Plant–microbe interactions; Plant–pest interactions; or Plant–soil relationships. Full research articles, short communications and review articles should provide new knowledge or insights into mechanisms. Findings of a purely descriptive nature or review articles merely summarising established knowledge are not considered. Field experiments and experiments under controlled conditions presented in original research articles should include at least two sets or seasons of data, or data from multiple sites, unless unusual conditions apply. Review articles are only considered if they are based on clear research questions and/or objectives, and on a systematic methodology. Quantitative meta-analysis of data retrieved through reviewing is encouraged. Peer Review Statement: The South African Journal of Plant and Soil is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes high quality, original research contributions to scientific knowledge. All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts . Authors to please note: Page charges for the journal are ZAR250 per page (for society members) and ZAR700 (for non-members).
