ABSTRACT Soil Science emerged on the scene in January 1916 as a journal focused on soil fertility and allied fields. Its founding editor and guiding force for 23 years was Jacob Goodale Lipman, an immigrant from the Russian Empire who came to the United States in his teens and received all of his scientific training in the United States, at Rutgers and Cornell Universities. His knowledge of the Russian language and culture, rather than a preexisting professional network, however, enabled him to serve as an important bridge to the Russian soil science community. As well as facilitating communication between soil scientists in the United States and the Russian Empire (and, after 1917, its successor state, the Soviet Union), Lipman also found support for young scientists from abroad to come to work at Rutgers. The most prominent was another migrant from the Russian Empire who went on to win a Nobel Prize, Selman A. Waksman. Lipman, who had an enormous capacity for work, also organized the first International Congress of Soil Science in Washington, DC, in 1927, which was followed by a remarkable transcontinental excursion. These events allowed many American and international, including Soviet, soil scientists to meet. However, the journal that he guided from its foundation in 1916 provided a longer-term vehicle for international intellectual exchange before and after 1927.

土壤科学杂志一百周年

摘要 土壤科学于 1916 年 1 月作为一本专注于土壤肥力和相关领域的期刊而出现。其创始编辑和 23 年的指导力量是雅各布·古德尔·利普曼 (Jacob Goodale Lipman)，他是一名来自俄罗斯帝国的移民，他在青少年时期来到美国，并在美国的罗格斯大学和康奈尔大学接受了所有的科学培训。然而，他对俄罗斯语言和文化的了解，而不是先前存在的专业网络，使他能够成为俄罗斯土壤科学界的重要桥梁。除了促进美国和俄罗斯帝国（以及 1917 年之后的继承国苏联）土壤科学家之间的交流之外，利普曼还为来自国外的年轻科学家来到罗格斯大学工作找到了支持。最著名的是来自俄罗斯帝国的另一位移民，他后来获得了诺贝尔奖，塞尔曼·A·瓦克斯曼 (Selman A. Waksman)。拥有巨大工作能力的利普曼还于 1927 年在华盛顿特区组织了第一届国际土壤科学大会，随后进行了一次非凡的跨大陆旅行。这些事件使许多美国和国际（包括苏联）土壤科学家得以会面。然而，他从 1916 年创刊起就指导的期刊为 1927 年前后的国际知识交流提供了更长期的载体。这些事件使许多美国和国际（包括苏联）土壤科学家得以会面。然而，他从 1916 年创刊起就指导的期刊为 1927 年前后的国际知识交流提供了更长期的载体。这些事件使许多美国和国际（包括苏联）土壤科学家得以会面。然而，他从 1916 年创刊起就指导的期刊为 1927 年前后的国际知识交流提供了更长期的载体。
