Forty years ago, when PLANT AND SOIL first appeared, Europe was
still recovering from the devastating effects of World War II.
During the war years, work in many centres of agricultural research
had come to a virtual standstill. Buildings and equipment were
destroyed, scientists were often forced to terminate their research
and teaching activities and funds allocated to such work were
diverted to other, at that time, more pressing needs. During the
first post-war years reconstruction was undertaken with great zeal
and in that light the founding of the new journal PLANT AND SOIL
must be viewed. In the pre-war period most agricultural science
journals were still primarily national ones and consequently many
articles were published in languages mastered by only a limited
number of potential readers. In small countries whose languages are
not widely understood, the desire arose to publish research
findings in one of the major languages. It is therefore
understandable that in the early years of the journal's existence,
large portions of PLANT AND SOIL were filled with articles from the
Scandinavian countries and The Nether lands. Originally, rather
frequent use was made of the opportunity to publish also in German
and French, but with the advance of English as a major language of
communication, a decline was noticeable in the number of German and
French manuscripts submitted. As a consequence the Edi torial Board
has recently decided to terminate the publishing of articles in
these languages."
