Overview


Aims and Scope

Grass and Forage Science publishes the results of research and development in all aspects of grass and forage production, management and utilization, reviews of the state of knowledge on relevant topics and book reviews. Authors are also invited to submit papers on non-agricultural aspects of grassland management such as bioenergy, equine, recreational and amenity use and the environmental implications of all grassland systems. The Journal considers papers from all climatic zones. Originality is required in papers submitted for publication but this does not preclude the publication of material of a developmental nature.

As a guide to authors the Editors would make the following suggestions:

  • Experiments that are sensitive to environmental interactions, such as quantitative measurements, must be repeated over time and/or space (preferably 3 but at least 2 years and/or 2 locations).
  • Experiments that primarily describe the results of in vitro or controlled environment research should fully describe the conditions of the experiment and also the practical application of the research must be clear.
  • Papers that describe the routine evaluation of new cultivars, inoculant strains, seed coatings or similar will not be considered unless a high level of novelty and broad impact can be demonstrated.

The primary focus of the journal is on grasslands as opposed to rangeland studies.
