International Agrophysics is an Open Access journal published by the Institute of Agrophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences. It serves as a platform for integrating interdisciplinary research on the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The journal aims to enhance the understanding of soil-plant-atmosphere interactions through in-depth physical, biological, or chemical analysis, supported by insights from various disciplines within agricultural and natural sciences. Thematic scopeThe journal is focused on the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The journal publishes original, novel research and review papers on any subject regarding soil, plant and atmosphere and the interface between these elements. Manuscripts on postharvest processing and quality of crops are also welcomed. Particularly, the journal is focused on the following areas: implications of agricultural land use, soil management, and climate change on the production of biomass and renewable energy, soil structure, cycling of carbon, water, heat, and nutrients, biota, greenhouse gases, and environment,soil-plant-atmosphere continuum and ways of its regulation to increase the efficiency of water, energy, and chemicals in agriculture,biodiversity, functions, and interactions of microorganisms in the environment in relation to sustainable agriculture and horticulture as well as changing climate, soil microbiology, and mycology; the structure, activities, and functionality of microbial communities, microbiomes, and holobionts; new bio(techno)logical solutions for control, diagnostics, and monitoring of plant diseases and soil health,postharvest management and processing of agricultural and horticultural products in relation to food quality and safety,mathematical modeling of physical processes affecting environment quality, plant production, and postharvest processing,advances in sensors and communication devices to measure and collect information about physical conditions in agricultural and natural environments.
