Aims & Scope

Established in 1922, the Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science (JPNSS) is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to cover the entire spectrum of plant nutrition and soil science from different scale units, e.g. agroecosystem to natural systems.

With its wide scope and focus on soil-plant interactions, JPNSS is one of the leading journals on this topic.

Articles in JPNSS include reviews, high-standard original papers, and short communications and represent challenging research of international significance.

The Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science is one of the world’s oldest journals.

You can trust in a peer-reviewed journal that has been established in the plant and soil science community for almost 100 years.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science (ISSN 1436-8730) is published in six volumes per year, by the German Societies of Plant Nutrition (DGP) and Soil Science (DBG).

Furthermore, the Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science (JPNSS) is a Cooperating Journal of the International Union of Soil Science (IUSS).

The journal is produced by Wiley-VCH.
