About Grasses

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 is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. The aim of Grasses is to publish research on all fundamental and applied fields of grass and sustainable cropping systems, including topics of grass and forage production, quality, monitoring and utilization. Authors are also invited to submit papers on non-agronomic aspects of grassland and livestock management, such as environmental implications, sustainable management, conservative and regenerative agriculture. Additionally, in-depth literature, systematic and meta-analysis reviews are welcome.
