Impact Factor: 1.378
Grass and Forage Science has subscribers in nearly 70 countries. It is a major English language journal that 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 managment such as recreational and amenity use and the environmental implications of all grassland systems. The Journal considers papers from all climatic zones.
