《農林系統》是一本國際性的科學期刊，出版關于農林任何方面的新穎、高影響力的原創研究、批判性評論和簡短交流的成果。該雜志特別鼓勵證明農林復合經營在提供商品和非商品利益(如生態系統服務)方面的作用的貢獻。歡迎涉及生物物理和社會經濟方面的論文。這些包括對涉及樹木、作物和/或牲畜的綜合系統的基本或應用性質的調查結果。不鼓勵純粹是描述性或證實已確定調查結果性質的稿件，而且國際范圍有限。為了能夠出版，所提供的資料必須與比進行研究的具體地點更廣泛的范圍有關，并提供新的見解或對農林復合知識庫作出重大貢獻。

Agroforestry Systems is an international scientific journal that publishes results of novel, high impact original research, critical reviews and short communications on any aspect of agroforestry. The journal particularly encourages contributions that demonstrate the role of agroforestry in providing commodity as well non-commodity benefits such as ecosystem services. Papers dealing with both biophysical and socioeconomic aspects are welcome. These include results of investigations of a fundamental or applied nature dealing with integrated systems involving trees and crops and/or livestock. Manuscripts that are purely descriptive in nature or confirmatory in nature of well-established findings, and with limited international scope are discouraged. To be acceptable for publication, the information presented must be relevant to a context wider than the specific location where the study was undertaken, and provide new insight or make a significant contribution to the agroforestry knowledge base.
