Change of Title: Soils Becomes Soil Systems

We are excited to announce a journal name change from Soils to Soil Systems. We are changing the name to reflect the unique qualities of soils as complex natural systems, being the integrated composite of chemical, biological, and physical processes. Understanding their function requires interdisciplinary approaches and systems thinking. The name change also allows us to differentiate our journal from others within the field, specifically, the recently launched publication Soil by our EGU colleagues. Soil Systems emphasizes the novel thematic components of our journal, where we provide a vehicle for studies that examine and unravel the complexity of soils, including processes contributing to their development or loss, to plant growth and water quality, and to their contribution to global elemental cycling [1].
