The Journal of Soils and Sediments (JSS) is devoted to soils and sediments; it deals with contaminated, intact and disturbed soils and sediments. JSS explores both the common aspects and the differences between these two environmental compartments. Inter-linkages at the catchment scale and with the Earth’s system (inter-compartment) are an important topic in JSS. The range of research coverage includes the effects of disturbances and contamination; research, strategies and technologies for prediction, prevention, and protection; identification and characterization; treatment, remediation and reuse; risk assessment and management; creation and implementation of quality standards; international regulation and legislation.Potential authors are invited to check the contents of recent issues to determine whether their manuscript is suitable for JSS.Topics:Research on effects caused by disturbances and contamination Research, strategies and technologies for prediction, prevention, and protection Research, strategies and technologies for identification and characterisation Research, strategies and technologies for treatment, remediation and reuse Strategies for risk assessment and management Research on and the implementation of quality standards International regulation and legislation.Keywords:General for soils and sediments: anthropogenic impacts, bioavailability, ecology, ecotoxicological effects, metals, natural attenuation, organic compounds, risk assessment, risk management, species sensitivity.Keywords for Soils:acidification, remediation: including bioremediation and phytoremediation, soil processes, soil function.Keywords for Sediments:sediment/water interaction, remediation of contaminated sediments, management of sediments and dredged material.Target groups:environmental scientists chemists, biologists, hydrologists, limnologists, geographers, geologists, mineralogists, environmental managers, agriculturists, foresters, landscape designers, technologists, waste and remediation specialists, lawyers.Target areas:academia and industry, research and technology, consultancy, administrative bodies, non-government organisations, legislation and regulation.

《土壤與沉積物雜志》(JSS)專門研究土壤與沉積物;它處理受污染的、完整的和受干擾的土壤和沉積物。JSS探討了這兩個(gè)環(huán)境單元的共同之處和區(qū)別。流域尺度和與地球系統(tǒng)(艙間)的相互聯(lián)系是JSS的一個(gè)重要課題。研究范圍包括干擾和污染的影響;預(yù)測(cè)、預(yù)防和保護(hù)的研究、戰(zhàn)略和技術(shù);識(shí)別和描述;處理、修復(fù)和再利用;風(fēng)險(xiǎn)評(píng)估及管理;質(zhì)量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的制定和實(shí)施;國(guó)際法規(guī)和立法。邀請(qǐng)潛在的作者檢查最近一期的內(nèi)容，以確定他們的手稿是否適合JSS。主題:研究由干擾和污染引起的影響預(yù)測(cè)、預(yù)防和保護(hù)的研究、戰(zhàn)略和技術(shù)識(shí)別和特征的研究、策略和技術(shù)研究、處理、補(bǔ)救和再利用的策略和技術(shù)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)評(píng)估和管理策略質(zhì)量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的研究與實(shí)施國(guó)際法規(guī)和立法。關(guān)鍵詞:一般用于土壤和沉積物:人為影響、生物利用度、生態(tài)學(xué)、生態(tài)毒理學(xué)效應(yīng)、金屬、自然衰減、有機(jī)化合物、風(fēng)險(xiǎn)評(píng)估、風(fēng)險(xiǎn)管理、物種敏感性。土壤的關(guān)鍵詞:酸化、修復(fù):包括生物修復(fù)和植物修復(fù)、土壤過程、土壤功能。沉積物的關(guān)鍵詞:沉積物/水的相互作用、受污染沉積物的修復(fù)、沉積物和疏浚物的管理。目標(biāo)群體:環(huán)境科學(xué)家化學(xué)家、生物學(xué)家、水文學(xué)家、湖泊學(xué)家、地理學(xué)家、地質(zhì)學(xué)家、礦物學(xué)家、環(huán)境管理者、農(nóng)學(xué)家、森林學(xué)家、景觀設(shè)計(jì)師、技術(shù)專家、廢物和修復(fù)專家、律師。目標(biāo)區(qū)域:學(xué)術(shù)界及工業(yè)界、研究及科技、顧問、行政機(jī)關(guān)、非政府機(jī)構(gòu)、法例及規(guī)例。
