Coping with trade-offs in future field crop production
Submission deadline: 31 October 2025
We invite original research and opinion pieces that tackle these challenges through experimental studies, modelling approaches, or integrated frameworks. Key themes include:
Trade-offs and Synergies: Analysis of trade-offs and synergies at the crop, field, and system levels to improve resource use efficiency and sustainability.
Biophysical Yield Processes: Quantitative studies on crop yield formation, including interactions between genotypes, management practices, and the environment.
Scaling and Modelling: Multi-scale assessments of resource use and yield dynamics, from the plot level to global scales, with a focus on field crops.
Sustainable Intensification: Strategies for optimizing resource use in high- and low-input systems, including precision agriculture, ecological intensification, and climate-resilient practices.
Climate Change Impacts: Contributions addressing the impacts of climate change on trade-offs in field crop systems, particularly through crop-climate modelling or adaptation studies.

Field Crops Research的CAR指数
2023年3月份科睿唯安官方一次性踢除35本SCI期刊，多数涉及学术诚信问题，让我们意识到学术期刊的“被踢”指数，也很重要。目前，对于期刊的“被踢”指数，这里介绍一下：CAR指数（关于CAR的详细介绍，请关注：www.jcarindex.com），这是一种评价期刊学术诚信风险的指数，指数越高代表可能的风险越大。从数据看，Field Crops Research不管是2023年度，还是2024年度的CAR指数，都是比较低的。当然，CAR指数仅供参考，期刊风险情况，需以科睿唯安或中科院预警等官方为准！
让推送更美好~
