Special Issue on Agricultural Biodiversity

Agricultural biodiversity is a sub-set of general biodiversity that includes all components of biological diversity of relevance to food and agriculture, and all components of biological diversity that constitute the agricultural ecosystems. It is the result of natural selection processes and the careful selection and inventive developments of farmers, herders and fishers over millennia.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Agricultural Biodiversity. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Agroecosystem
• Plant resources
• Crop biodiversity
• Agricultural sustainability
• Pest control
• Interspecies interactions
• Genetic agrobiodiversity
• Biosafety and biosecurity issues
• Adaptation and mitigation of climate change

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Agricultural Biodiversity” should be selected during your submission.
