干旱地区农业研究

ARAA(Agricultural Research in the Arid Areas), the first Chinese core academic journalon dryland farming launched in 1983 in China, is superintended by Chinese Ministry of Education and sponsored by Northwest Agricultural and Forestry University.ARAA primarily deals with frontiers of agricultural research in arid, semi-arid, semi-moist and drought-prone areas in northern China, inclusively covers domestic seasonal drought agricultural practice in humid areas and overseas dryland farming research trends, fully portraits cutting-edge achievements, theories,techniques and experiences in above regions in China and promptly presents the latest research advances worldwide. In general, ARAA features both applied and basic scientific research focusing on dryland farming and highlighting rational water use and irrigation farming progress. ARAA publishes innovative and practical research papers, research reports, review works and rapid communication on major columns including but not limited to crop drought resistance physiology and regulation,drought-resisting crop breeding,water-saving irrigation theories and techniques, dryland water-saving farming and cultivation techniques, crop and soil water dynamics, soil and crop nutrition, dryland agri-ecology and resources utilization, dryland agricultural machinery,drought monitoring and forecasting,dryland climate and its impact on crops, etc. Besides, a special column of Expert Forum is opened for thematic elaborations by invited dryland researchers from home and abroad.

《干旱地区农业研究》创刊于1983年，由教育部主管、西北农林科技大学主办，是国内旱农领域创办最早的学术类中文核心期刊。该期刊专注于中国北方干旱半干旱及半湿润易旱地区农业科学研究，兼顾湿润地区季节性干旱农业实际和国外旱区农业研究动态。以旱作农业为重点，强调水资源合理利用及灌溉农业的发展，同时关注作物抗旱育种、抗旱生理、节水灌溉理论与技术、耕作与栽培，旱区生态与资源利用、旱作农业机械、旱情监测预报等方面的研究。《干旱地区农业研究》主要刊登具有创新性、实用性的研究论文、研究简报、文献综述，以及最新研究动态快报。此外，还设有“专家论坛”栏目，邀请国内外旱农研究专家进行专题论述，全面反映中国干旱、半干旱及湿润易旱区农业科学技术研究的新成果、新理论、新技术。
