This style file sets out explicitly the style, fonts and layout for articles submitted to the European Journal of Soil Science. The section below the dotted line can be used as a template. A complete Guide for Authors is available at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/ejs and in a recent issue of the Journal. Please follow them as closely as you can with the software that you have available. Serious departures from the layout are likely to result in delays while papers are reformatted.
Please use double spacing throughout. Use line numbers if you wish. Number the pages sequentially throughout and ensure that there is a left-hand margin of at least 3cm.
