Agricultural and Forest Meteorology

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology is an international journal for the publication of original articles and reviews on the inter-relationship between meteorology, agriculture, forestry, and natural ecosystems. Emphasis is on basic and applied scientific research relevant to practical problems in the field of plant and soil sciences, ecology and biogeochemistry as affected by weather as well as climate variability and change. Theoretical models should be tested against experimental data. Articles must appeal to an international audience. Special issues devoted to single topics are also published. Typical topics include canopy micrometeorology (e.g. canopy radiation transfer, turbulence near the ground, evapotranspiration, energy balance, fluxes of trace gases), micrometeorological instrumentation (e.g., sensors for trace gases, flux measurement instruments, radiation measurement techniques), aerobiology (e.g. the dispersion of pollen, spores, insects and pesticides), biometeorology (e.g. the effect of weather and climate on plant distribution, crop yield, water-use efficiency, and plant phenology), forest-fire/weather interactions, and feedbacks from vegetation to weather and the climate system.

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology 是一本国际期刊，专门发表有关气象、农业、林业和自然生态系统之间相互关系的原创文章和评论。重点是与植物和土壤科学、生态学和生物地球化学领域受天气以及气候变率和变化影响的实际问题相关的基础和应用科学研究。理论模型应根据实验数据进行检验。期刊也有专门针对单一主题的特刊。
