African Journal of Range and Forage Science
Published by Taylor & Francis
ISSN : 1022-0119 eISSN : 1727-9380
Abbreviation : Afr. J. Range Forage Sci.
Aims & Scope
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.
