Articles should be new scientific contributions not previously published.

Papers are accepted in English.

Papers should be sent to:Redazione di Redia, c/o Research Centre for

Agrobiology and Pedology (ABP) , via Lanciola, 12/a - 50125 Firenze,

to the Authors. Articles considered suitable will be examined  by the

Editorial Board and by two anonymous Referées.

Authors are advised to refer to the World List of Scientific Periodical for

the abbreviations of journals.

Plates and illustrations: the format of the journal (16.5×24.5 cm) should

be borne in mind, and illustrations should be of such a size as to allow a

65% reduction.Plates and illustrations, together with their relevant captions,

should be indicated in Roman numerals (e.g. Fig. I, Plate I, etc.); illustrations

in the text composed of more than one drawing or photograph should always

be numered from 1 (e.g. Fig. I, 1, 2, 3, etc., Plate II, 1, 2, 3; ...); while tables

should use Arabic numerals (e.g. Table 1, etc.). The Author may propose the

reduction or enlargement of the original illustrations so that they fit the format.

Captions are to be written on a separate page with precise references to the

illustration. Maximum 5 figs. or tabs free. Colour figures or plates may be

included at the Author’s expense.

Manuscript submission. The manuscripts should be submitted in electronic

form in addition to a hard-copy printout. The preferred storage medium

foryour electronic manuscript is a 3 1/2 inch diskette or CD. Please label

your diskette or CD properly, giving exact details on the name(s) of the

file(s), the operating system and software used. Always save your electronic

manuscript in the word processor format that you use; conversions to other

formats and versions tend to be imperfect. In general, use as few formatting

codes as possible. For Safety’s sake, you should always retain a backup

copy of your file(s). After acceptance, please make absolutely sure that you

send the latest (i.e., revised) version of your manuscript, both as hard-copy

printout and on diskette.

Submission of a manuscript implies:that the work described has not been

published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere

else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well

as by the responsible authorities, tacitly or explicitly, at the institute where

the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be helde legally

responsible should there be any claims for compensation.

Figures. Submission of electronic figures. In addition to hard-copy

printouts of figures, authors are encouraged to supply the electronic

versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF

format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PiCT

(Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used and the hard copy

will be scanned instead.

Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions,

which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be

named according to DOS conventions, e.g. «figure I.eps». For vector

graphics EPS in the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than

0.25pts and in-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at

least 10%. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format but

EPS is also acceptable. The following resolutions are optimal:

black-and- white line figures – 600-1200 dpi; line figures with some

grey or coloured line – 600 dpi; photographs – 300 dpi; screen

dumps – leave as is. Higher resolutions will not improve output quality

but will only increase file size, which may cause problems with printing;

lower resolutions may compromise output quality. Please try to provide

artwork that approximately fits within the typeset area of the journal.

Especially screened originals, i.e. originals with grey areas, may suffer

badly from reduction by more than 10-15%.

Permission. Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages

that have already published elsewhere are required to obtain permission

from the copyright owner (s) and to include evidence that such permission

has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received

without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.

The Author must be willing to revise and return the proofs within 15 days.
