Farming System provides a platform to discuss farming system design, integrated crop and livestock production, farming management, and economic and sustainable development. The journal publishes original scientific papers, reviews, short communications, perspectives, and comments.The scope of Farming System includes:Farming System Design and Innovation: development and application of tools and methods for farming system design and management; decision-making and resource allocation in farming system; sustainability assessment and design of farming system and decision support tools; crop distribution and resources sustainability; crop modeling at either farm-, landscape-, regional-, national- and global-scale; the application of remote sensing in monitoring production at farm to global scale; farming system optimization;Farming System Development and Assessment: regional agricultural green development assessment; food security assessment from the perspective of farming system; the synergism assessment of crop production, economic benefits, ecosystem services, environmental sustainability of farming system; farming systems life cycle assessment (LCA); water footprint, carbon footprint, nitrogen footprint and other environmental footprints of farming system; crop resilience and adaption to climatic change;Sustainable Farming Management: sustainable intensification of resources, lower environmental consequence, carbon sequestration and emission reduction. For instance, diversified cropping, the combination of farming and animal husbandry, organic farming, low-carbon farming, eco-farming, green farming, circular agriculture, conservation agriculture, regenerative agriculture, environment-friendly agriculture, and climate-smart agriculture;Crop, Soil, and Environment Interactions: the mechanism of crop, soil, and environment interactions; crop growth process under different environments; the soil processes and microbial mechanisms supporting high crop yield, high efficiency, and low environmental impact;Research Frontier and Interdisciplinary in Farming System: new ideas, hypotheses, theories, and technologies that are adopted or fulfilled to solve the problems in farming system research and practice, such as new materials (nano-, chemical-, etc.), smart agriculture.
Soil Science Reviews has been discontinued. Geoderma, an International Journal of Soil Science, is pleased to offer itself as an alternative forum for review articles in soil science and will incorporate the manuscripts submitted to Soil Science Reviews with effect from Volume 117 (2004).Please visit the website at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/geoderma
Tropical Agricultural Sciences (TAS) is a comprehensive international journal with a high starting point in the field of tropical agriculture which is led by the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agriculture Sciences (CATAS). The editor-in-chief is Huang Sanwen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agriculture Sciences.
The journal “Tropical Agricultural Sciences” focuses on basic research and applied basic research of tropical agriculture such as germplasm resources and genetic breeding, crop cultivation and physiology and biochemistry, Frontier basic and emerging interdisciplinary research, Plant protection and bio-safety, agricultural product processing and nutrition and health, agroecology and environmental protection, animal science and veterinary medicine, agricultural economy and informatization etc. The journal is committed to publishing high-level scientific research results and cutting-edge advances in the field of tropical agriculture, especially on the cross-over study of the impact of climate change on tropical agriculture, environmental issues in the development of tropical agriculture, the role of tropical agriculture in rural development, food security and transformation, economic growth and poverty reduction, the innovation in tropical agriculture science and technology.
