The journal Soil Health (SH) is a gold open access, peer-reviewed journal that aims to bring together current research and reviews in the areas of soil health, encompassing the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils and their capacity to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain environmental quality, and promote plant, animal, and human health. The journal aims to highlight current cutting-edge research from around the world and to promote the advancement of soil science while making such breakthroughs accessible in a constructive way. As such, the journal welcomes primary research papers that report on novel aspects and new data from any soil ecosystem, including agricultural, forest, grassland, wetland, and urban soils. Therefore, articles presenting investigations on any aspect of soil health or soil functions are welcome. In particular, we welcome studies into the response mechanisms of soils to altered land use, management practices, or environmental change, such as those related to climate change, pollution, erosion, salinization, or any other circumstances that lead to soil degradation. The journal also welcomes reviews as long as they are not simply descriptive, but help to steer the field forward in a constructive manner. Systematic reviews and minireviews are welcomed, as are opinion articles that present views and research directions that are challenged. Interdisciplinary research is particularly welcome, such as the use of digital technologies, remote sensing, or artificial intelligence to facilitate research in soil health. More
