非洲牧場和牧草科學(xué)雜志是非洲領(lǐng)先的牧場和牧業(yè)期刊。該雜志致力于出版優(yōu)質(zhì)的原始材料，推動牧場生態(tài)和牧場管理。該期刊旨在發(fā)布來自任何地區(qū)的具有國際重要性的研究，但作為非洲期刊，我們對來自非洲和與該大陸相關(guān)的研究特別感興趣。該雜志促進(jìn)科學(xué)及其應(yīng)用，鼓勵作者明確確定其工作的實際意義。同行評審的研究論文和研究報告主要涉及牧場和牧場生態(tài)和管理的各個方面，包括牧場和牧場的生態(tài)生理學(xué)和生物地球化學(xué)，陸地植物 - 食草動物相互作用（國內(nèi)和野生），牧場評估和監(jiān)測，牧場氣候變化，牧場和牧場管理，牧場恢復(fù)，支持生產(chǎn)的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)服務(wù)，保護(hù)和生物多樣性目標(biāo)，以及確定和開發(fā)集約化和半精養(yǎng)牧場和牧草資源以滿足畜牧生產(chǎn)需求。特別鼓勵強(qiáng)調(diào)支持管理，政策和社會價值的生物物理和社會科學(xué)之間跨學(xué)科聯(lián)系的文章。該期刊包括相關(guān)的書評和邀請的觀點，有助于范圍和飼料科學(xué)的發(fā)展。向編輯發(fā)出的關(guān)于辯論期刊中提出的問題的信件是可以接受的。非洲牧場和牧草科學(xué)雜志是南部非洲草原學(xué)會的官方期刊。

The African Journal of Range & Forage Science is the leading rangeland and pastoral journal in Africa. The Journal is dedicated to publishing quality original material that advances rangeland ecology and pasture management. The journal aims to publish research of international importance from any region, but as an African journal, we are particularly interested in research from Africa and relevant to the continent. The Journal promotes both science and its application and authors are encouraged to explicitly identify the practical implications of their work. Peer-reviewed research papers and research notes deal primarily with all aspects of rangeland and pasture ecology and management, including the ecophysiology and biogeochemistry of rangelands and pastures, terrestrial plant–herbivore interactions (both domestic and wild), rangeland assessment and monitoring, effects of climate change on rangelands, rangeland and pasture management, rangeland rehabilitation, ecosystem services in support of production, conservation and biodiversity goals, and the identification and development of intensive and semi-intensive pasture and forage resources to meet livestock production needs. Articles highlighting transdisciplinary linkages among biophysical and social sciences that support management, policy and societal values are particularly encouraged. The Journal includes relevant book reviews and invited perspectives that contribute to the development of range and forage science. Letters to the editor that debate issues raised in the Journal are acceptable. The African Journal of Range & Forage Science is the official journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa.
