Canadian Society of Soil Science
The Canadian Society of Soil Science (CSSS) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization for scientists, engineers, technologists, administrators and students involved in professional soil science. Its goal is to nurture the discipline of soil science in Canada.
The Society is administered by a 9-member Council consisting of a President, President-Elect, Past-President, Secretary, Treasurer, two Councillors (Western and Eastern Councillor), Graduate Student Representative, and the Editor of the Canadian Journal of Soil Science. Council meets once annually, at the Annual Meeting, and conducts ongoing e-mail correspondence and business motions throughout the year. The Annual Meeting consists of both Scientific and Business Meetings, and concludes with an Awards Banquet.
The Canadian Journal of Soil Science (CJSS), established in 1921, is a quarterly journal that is international in scope and publishes fundamental and applied research from all areas of soil science around the world. These areas include traditional soil biology, physics, and chemistry; pedology; use, management, and development; soil and environment interactions; land reclamation and contaminant remediation. It draws from and interfaces with numerous fields such as agriculture, agrometeorology, ecology, engineering, environmental science, environmental stewardship, forestry, geography, geology, hydrology, land rehabilitation, landscape processes, mapping and evaluation, microbiology, soil-plant interactions, and urban uses.
The journal welcomes interdisciplinary works, particularly those linking soil with climate change, food security, and sustainable development goals. The journal publishes regular research articles, reviews (and mini-reviews), letters to the editor, discussions (comments and replies), short communications, special issues on important topics in the field of soil science, and occasionally conference proceedings and book reviews. The journal also publishes reviews, letters to the editor, and occasionally conference proceedings. Special issues, or special sections within regular issues dealing with specific topics, are also considered.
The journal is published by Canadian Science Publishing (CSP), Canada's independent, not-for-profit leader in mobilizing science-based knowledge, making it easy to discover, use, and share. As Canada's largest publisher of international scientific journals, CSP is committed to strengthening the integrity, relevance, reach, and impact of vital knowledge and research, across Canada and around the globe.
The CSSS Newsletter, published three to four times a year, is an information bulletin containing Society and member news. It is an informal forum through which CSSS members can share ideas and information and keep in touch with one another.
The Canadian Society of Soil Science has sponsored several books such as:
The committee, established in 2014,has the goal to enhance soil science education in Canada at both the post-secondary and K-12 level. The committee has following objectives: (1) compile and disseminate information about the soil science courses and programs at Canadian postsecondary institutions, (2) enhance soil science education at the K-12 levels, (3) establish and maintain contacts with the international soil science community regarding new developments in soil science education, and (4) support informal education through communications and outreach with both specialists and the general public (including via social media).
