African Journal of Range and Forage Science

About this journal

The African Journal of Range and Forage Science is a peer-reviewed, international journal dedicated to disseminating high-quality research on all aspects of range and forage science in Africa. Its scope encompasses a broad range of topics, including grazing ecology, plant physiology, animal production, soil science, and the impact of climate change on rangelands. The journal actively seeks to promote sustainable rangeland management practices, focusing on the ecological, economic, and social implications of these practices in the African context.

Key themes explored within the journal include the utilization and management of rangelands, the conservation of biodiversity, the development of drought-tolerant forage species, the impact of livestock grazing on ecosystem health, and the integration of indigenous knowledge systems with modern scientific approaches. The journal particularly emphasizes research that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities facing African rangelands, including land degradation, overgrazing, and the effects of climate change.

The African Journal of Range and Forage Science caters to a diverse audience, including researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and students from various disciplines related to rangeland management. This includes ecologists, agronomists, animal scientists, soil scientists, and social scientists. The journal aims to bridge the gap between research and practice by providing a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices that can be applied to real-world scenarios.

The journal's impact is reflected in its high citation index and the influence it has on the field of rangeland management in Africa. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers seeking to publish their findings, and for practitioners looking for the latest information on best practices. By disseminating knowledge and fostering collaboration, the journal contributes to the sustainable management of Africa's vast rangelands, which play a critical role in the livelihoods of millions of people.
