About
Aims
The International Journal of Soil Health and Sustainable Management (IJSHSM) aims to advance the scientific understanding and practical application of soil health principles in the context of sustainable land management and climate resilience. The journal seeks to provide a platform for interdisciplinary research that addresses the complex interactions between soil properties, ecosystem functions, and human interventions. By promoting innovative methodologies for soil quality assessment and conservation strategies, IJSHM aims to support the development of integrated management practices that sustain soil ecosystem services under changing environmental conditions. The journal emphasizes the translation of research into actionable knowledge for farmers, land managers, and policymakers, thereby contributing to global food security, climate mitigation, and environmental sustainability.
