Aims & Scope

Crop Ecology and Yield Systems is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, semiannual journal dedicated to advancing fundamental and applied research on crop production systems. The journal focuses on understanding the ecological and physiological processes that govern crop growth, development, and yield formation across field, farm, and landscape scales.

Aims and Scope

The journal aims to publish high-quality original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that provide new scientific insights into crop-based agroecosystems. It particularly emphasizes studies that integrate ecological principles with agronomic practices to improve productivity and sustainability.

Key areas include:

Crop ecology, crop physiology, and yield formation mechanisms

Resource use efficiency (water, nutrients, light, and energy)

Crop modeling, systems agronomy, and scaling approaches

Climate-smart agriculture and adaptive cropping systems

Crop intensification, diversification, and intercropping systems

Phenotyping, field experimentation, and multi-location trials

Integration of breeding, management, and environmental interactions

The journal encourages mechanistic, hypothesis-driven studies supported by robust field data and emphasizes research that contributes to global agricultural sustainability and food security.
