Tropical Grasslands - Forrajes Tropicales

期刊简介：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.

【译文】该期刊以英文或西班牙文发表关于热带和亚热带牧场和饲料的研究与开发论文、简报以及来自实践者的贡献（农民贡献）和综述文章。没有特定的区域重点；发表的信息应该对广泛的读者群感兴趣，包括研究人员、学者、学生、技术人员、发展工作者和农民。总的来说，该期刊更侧重于播种（改良）牧场和饲料，而不是自然草原的特定放牧方面，但可能存在例外（例如，当投稿对牧场和饲料科学社区中特别广泛的读者群相关时）。该期刊还将考虑偶尔发表相关但密切相关的科研，以额外的科学交流平台的形式[例如，澳大利亚联邦科学和工业研究组织（CSIRO）前热带作物和牧场部门的前遗传资源通讯系列的重制]。该期刊特别感兴趣的领域包括：饲料遗传资源和畜牧业[...]饲料的环境功能[...]社会经济方面[...]上述领域中的主题可能包括：多样性评估；农学；建立（包括施肥）；管理和利用；动物生产；营养价值；生物胁迫（害虫和疾病，杂草）；非生物胁迫（土壤肥力，水，温度）；遗传学和育种；生物地理学和种质资源收集；种子生产；生态学；生理学；根瘤菌学（包括BNF，BNI，菌根）；饲料保存；经济学；多地点实验；建模。
