Aims and Scope
The Journal is dedicated to publishing quality original material that advances rangeland ecology and pasture management in Africa. Contributions reporting on research not done in Africa, which is applicable in Africa, are welcome.
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 in Africa.
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 in Africa. 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.
Members of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa receive a hard copy of each issue of the journal when it is published and also have free online access to all issues published since 1966. For all papers published during 2010 members of the Society will pay NO PAGE CHARGES - submit your manuscript today!!
