The Nigerian Journal of Soil Science (NJSS) is the official journal of the Soil Science Society of Nigeria, dedicated to advancing knowledge in soil science and related disciplines.
The Nigerian Journal of Soil Science (NJSS) is a national journal devoted to disseminating research and development on soil as a natural resource on the surface of the earth, both in Nigeria and internationally. This includes physical, chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils, as well as their applications to crop production, as well as soil formation, classification, and mapping. This journal is published as the flagship publication of the Soil Science Society of Nigeria (SSSN).
With its founding in 1968, the Soil Science Society of Nigeria (SSSN) is a registered member of the International Union of Soil Science (IUSS). The Nigerian Journal of Soil Science, or NJSS, was first published in the early 1970s and is published by the society. Anyone interested in soil science, including institutions, private companies, and students, is eligible to join the Society.
The journal publishes original research papers, review articles, and short communications covering various aspects of soil science, including:
1. Land Resource Assessment and Management
2. Soil Health and Nutrient Management
3. Soil Physics and Conservation
4. Capacity Building and Extension
5. Cross-Cutting and Advances in Soil Science Research
