Aims and Scope

Agrobiodiversity is dedicated to disseminating worldwide empirical knowledge and fostering academic exchange by publishing original research that delves into all facets of agriculture and biodiversity, including the intricate relationships between crops, animals, and microorganisms within their ecological niches.

The scope of content published by Agrobiodiversity includes, but is not limited to:

Exploring novel methods and technologies for the conservation, enhancement, and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity.

Developing theoretical frameworks that deepen our understanding of the role of biodiversity in agricultural ecosystems.

 Applying innovative technologies to promote biodiversity within agricultural systems.

 Studying the richness and variability of genetic resources in crops, encompassing different varieties, breeds, and landraces.

 Cataloguing and characterizing genetic diversity to support breeding programs for improved resilience, productivity, and adaptation.

Investigating the complex interactions between different crop species in diverse environmental conditions.

Understanding how environmental factors influence intercropping systems, competition, and cooperation among crops.

Examining the relationships between crops and non-living elements of the environment, such as soil, water, and climate.

Assessing how crops respond to and adapt to abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, and temperature fluctuations.

Researching the intricate relationships between crops and the diverse microbial communities in the soil and rhizosphere.

Exploring the role of beneficial microbes in promoting plant growth, nutrient cycling, and disease resistance.

 Investigating and developing integrated approaches that combine various agricultural technologies for improved efficiency and sustainability.

 Integrating precision farming, digital agriculture, and other cutting-edge technologies into composite agricultural systems.

Identifying and evaluating new plant and animal species with potential applications in agriculture.

Assessing the nutritional, medicinal, or ecological value of these resource species for sustainable agricultural practices.

All genetic resources published in Agrobiodiversity must be made accessible to all future users and deposited in a publicly available repository when possible.
