Journal of Soil and Plant Interactions

Journal of Soil and Plant Interactions  are published quarterly by Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, Iran. This journal publishes Full (original) research papers, Review papers upon the Editor’s request, Short communications, and Letter-to-editor or Comments related to soil-plant interactions. The journal is basically dedicated to promoting scholarly exchanges among professors, researchers, and students of different universities, and research institutes, focusing in particular on the exploration of cutting edge knowledge on soil and plant interactions. The journal is planed to publish the most up-to date manuscripts that advance understanding in the areas of specialization after double blind peer-review. The journal is electronically accessed as PDF or HTML files for free at:

Aims:
The aim of “Soil and Plant Interactions”, as an interdisciplinary journal, is to publish original papers and review articles related to soil, water and plant disciplines. Research papers can include both fundamental and applied aspects of plant-water relations, physical and chemical processes in the rhizosphere, biological interactions in the rhizosphere, plant growth under stressful conditions, modeling of soil-water-plant relations, soil-plant relations and soil health, plant functional traits and soil properties in relation to climate change mitigation, and greenhouse culture.
 
Scope:

• Plant water relations
• Availability of soil water and nutrients for plant
• Physical and chemical processes in the rhizosphere
• Biological interactions, resources and fluxes in the rhizosphere
• Plant growth promoting microrganisms in the rhizosphere
• Molecular plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere
• Rhizosphere priming effect as affected by plant and soil characteristics
• Carbon sequestration and soil structure in the root zone and rhizosphere
• Root effects on soil properties and biophysical and biochemical processes
• Biogeochemistry of contaminants in soil-plant system
• Plant growth under stressful conditions
• Modeling of soil-water-plant relations and root water uptake
• Soil health association with soil-plant interactions
• Plant functional traits and soil properties in relation to climate change mitigation
• Soil (growth medium) and plant relations in greenhouse culture
