非洲牧場和牧草科學雜志是非洲領先的牧場和牧業期刊。該雜志致力于出版優質的原始材料，推動牧場生態和牧場管理。該期刊旨在發布來自任何地區的具有國際重要性的研究，但作為非洲期刊，我們對來自非洲和與該大陸相關的研究特別感興趣。該雜志促進科學及其應用，鼓勵作者明確確定其工作的實際意義。同行評審的研究論文和研究報告主要涉及牧場和牧場生態和管理的各個方面，包括牧場和牧場的生態生理學和生物地球化學，陸地植物 - 食草動物相互作用（國內和野生），牧場評估和監測，牧場氣候變化，牧場和牧場管理，牧場恢復，支持生產的生態系統服務，保護和生物多樣性目標，以及確定和開發集約化和半精養牧場和牧草資源以滿足畜牧生產需求。特別鼓勵強調支持管理，政策和社會價值的生物物理和社會科學之間跨學科聯系的文章。該期刊包括相關的書評和邀請的觀點，有助于范圍和飼料科學的發展。向編輯發出的關于辯論期刊中提出的問題的信件是可以接受的。非洲牧場和牧草科學雜志是南部非洲草原學會的官方期刊。

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.
