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探討了這兩個環(huán)境單元的共同之處和區(qū)別。流域尺度和與地球系統(艙間)的相互聯系是JSS的一個重要課題。研究范圍包括干擾和污染的影響;預測、預防和保護的研究、戰(zhàn)略和技術;識別和描述;處理、修復和再利用;風險評估及管理;質量標準的制定和實施;國際法規(guī)和立法。邀請潛在的作者檢查最近一期的內容，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測、預防和保護的研究、戰(zhàn)略和技術識別和特征的研究、策略和技術研究、處理、補救和再利用的策略和技術風險評估和管理策略質量標準的研究與實施國際法規(guī)和立法。關鍵詞:一般用于土壤和沉積物:人為影響、生物利用度、生態(tài)學、生態(tài)毒理學效應、金屬、自然衰減、有機化合物、風險評估、風險管理、物種敏感性。土壤的關鍵詞:酸化、修復:包括生物修復和植物修復、土壤過程、土壤功能。沉積物的關鍵詞:沉積物/水的相互作用、受污染沉積物的修復、沉積物和疏浚物的管理。目標群體:環(huán)境科學家化學家、生物學家、水文學家、湖泊學家、地理學家、地質學家、礦物學家、環(huán)境管理者、農學家、森林學家、景觀設計師、技術專家、廢物和修復專家、律師。目標區(qū)域:學術界及工業(yè)界、研究及科技、顧問、行政機關、非政府機構、法例及規(guī)例。
