Journal of Soils and Sediments (JSS) is an international peer-reviewed publication focused on the interdisciplinary research of soil and sediment systems. It bridges the gap between soil science, sedimentology, and environmental science, addressing the complex interactions that govern the behavior and function of these critical Earth components. The journal delves into topics such as soil and sediment formation, composition, and their role in environmental processes.
JSS explores a broad range of areas, including soil and sediment contamination, remediation strategies, nutrient cycling, and the impact of human activities on soil and sediment quality. Key themes include the assessment and management of soil and sediment resources, with emphasis on sustainable practices and ecosystem services. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, and technical notes relevant to researchers, policymakers, and environmental professionals. Topics covered range from heavy metals and organic pollutants to erosion and land degradation. JSS is indexed in databases such as CAS, Scopus, and Web of Science.
By providing insights into the intricate relationships between soils, sediments, and the environment, JSS contributes to informed decision-making in land management, environmental protection, and sustainable development. Contributions from researchers are highly valued, aiming to promote a deeper understanding of these vital Earth resources.
