Aims & Scope

Aims

Grasses (ISSN: 2813-3463) is an international and scholarly open access journal that publishes peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, short communications, and technical notes. There are no restrictions on the length of papers. The aim of Grasses is to publish research in all fundamental and applied fields of grass and sustainable cropping systems, including grass and forage production and quality, monitoring, and utilization. Research findings must be reproducible, ensuring transparency and reliability in the scientific process. Authors are also invited to submit papers on non-agronomy aspects of grassland and livestock management, such as environmental implications, sustainable management, conservative and regenerative agriculture, or energy production when grasslands are involved, as in the case of agrivoltaics. In-depth studies as well as systematic and meta-analysis reviews are also welcome.
