Journal Title：Tropical Grasslands-forrajes Tropicales

The Journal publishes, in English or Spanish, Research Papers and Short Communications on research and development, as well as contributions from practitioners (Farmer Contributions) and Review Articles, related to pastures and forages in the tropics and subtropics. There is no regional focus; the information published should be of interest to a wide readership, encomprising researchers, academics, students, technicians, development workers and farmers.

In general, the focus of the Journal is more on sown ('improved') pastures and forages than on rangeland-specific aspects of natural grasslands, but exceptions are possible (e.g. when a submission is relevant for a particularly broad readership in the pasture and forage science community).

The Journal will also consider the occasional publication of associated, but closely related, research in the form of an additional scientific communication platform [e.g. a re-make of the former Genetic Resources Communication series of the former Division of Tropical Crops and Pastures of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia].

Areas of particular interest to the Journal are:

Forage Genetic Resources and Livestock Production[...]

Environmental Functions of Forages[...]

Socio-economic Aspects[...]

Topics within the aforementioned areas may include: Diversity evaluation; Agronomy; Establishment (including fertilization); Management and utilization; Animal production; Nutritive value; Biotic stresses (pests and diseases, weeds); Abiotic stresses (soil fertility, water, temperature); Genetics and breeding; Biogeography and germplasm collections; Seed production; Ecology; Physiology; Rhizobiology (including BNF, BNI, mycorrhizae); Forage conservation; Economics; Multilocational experimentation; Modelling.

本期刊以英語或西班牙語發(fā)表有關(guān)研究和開發(fā)的研究論文和簡短通訊，以及從業(yè)人員的貢獻（農(nóng)民貢獻）和評論文章，涉及熱帶和亞熱帶的牧場和牧草。沒有區(qū)域重點；發(fā)表的信息應(yīng)該引起廣大讀者的興趣，包括研究人員、學(xué)者、學(xué)生、技術(shù)人員、開發(fā)人員和農(nóng)民。

一般來說，本期刊的重點更多地放在播種（“改良”）的牧場和牧草上，而不是天然草原的牧場特定方面，但也有例外（例如，當投稿與牧場和牧草科學(xué)界的廣大讀者相關(guān)時）。

本期刊還將考慮偶爾以額外的科學(xué)交流平臺的形式發(fā)表相關(guān)但密切相關(guān)的研究[例如澳大利亞聯(lián)邦科學(xué)與工業(yè)研究組織（CSIRO）熱帶作物和牧場司原遺傳資源通訊系列的重制版。

本期刊特別感興趣的領(lǐng)域包括：

牧草遺傳資源和畜牧生產(chǎn)[...]

牧草的環(huán)境功能[...]

社會經(jīng)濟方面[...]

上述領(lǐng)域內(nèi)的主題可能包括：多樣性評估；農(nóng)學(xué)；建立（包括施肥）；管理和利用；動物生產(chǎn)；營養(yǎng)價值；生物脅迫（病蟲害、雜草）；非生物脅迫（土壤肥力、水、溫度）；遺傳學(xué)和育種；生物地理學(xué)和種質(zhì)收集；種子生產(chǎn)；生態(tài)學(xué)；生理學(xué)；根瘤菌學(xué)（包括 BNF、BNI、菌根）；牧草保護；經(jīng)濟學(xué)；多地點實驗；建模。

Tropical Grasslands-forrajes Tropicales創(chuàng)刊于1979年，由Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT)出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋Agricultural and Biological Sciences - Agronomy and Crop Science全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機率較高。平均審稿速度 16 Weeks ，影響因子指數(shù)0.9，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
