Overview
Plant and Soil is an international journal that publishes content exploring the interface of plant biology and soil sciences, and that enhances our mechanistic understanding of plant-soil interactions.
- Explores both fundamental and applied aspects of mineral nutrition, plant-water relations, root anatomy, root anatomy and morphology, soil biology, ecology, agrochemistry and agrophysics.
- Covers rticles discussing a major molecular or mathematical component.

Call for Papers: Special Issue on “Plant facilitation”
This Special Issue aims to gather studies on the mechanisms underlying positive interactions between plants. We welcome studies examining coexistence, biodiversity-ecosystem functioning, successional change, as well evolutionary examinations of facilitation, mutualism, and commensalism. We also examine theoretical and/or modelling work, but we’d like to see strong connections to ecological or evolutionary mechanisms.

Call for Papers: Special Issue on “Effects of fire on plant-soil-microorganism interactions”
This special issue aims to address emerging paradigms on factors that explain how fire impacts soil microorganisms and their interactions with plants. We envision papers with a broad range of topics such as using compositional change and traits to predict fire effects, understanding the role of soil physicochemical properties, and identifying cross-biome trends in responses. We are particularly interested in papers that evaluate the potential impact of changing fire regimes (e.g., rising intensity and frequency in forests) on plant and soil microorganisms.

Call for Papers: Special Issue on “Responses of plant-soil interaction to atmospheric circulation: Linking global scale with plant-soil system”
This special issue aims to gather studies on responses of plant-soil interaction to atmospheric circulation variations while focusing on interactions among plant, microbe and soil
