Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment mainly tackles studies in Agronomy, Ecology, Agriculture, Agroforestry and Soil water. The presented research on Agronomy deals specifically with Soil carbon but it also addresses topics in Soil organic matter. Habitat, Species richness, Biodiversity, Abundance (ecology) and Grassland are some of the facets of Ecology tackled in it.
Topics in Species richness explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Vegetation and Species diversity. While Grassland is the key highlight in the journal, it also covered some subjects on Grazing and Pasture. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment facilitates discussions on Agriculture that incorporate concepts from other fields like Sustainability, Environmental resource management and Environmental protection.
The journal focuses on Agroforestry but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Ecosystem, Ecosystem services and Land use. Research in Soil water discussed is concerned with the study of Soil science as a whole. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Fertilizer as it also encompasses Manure.
The published papers are organized to reinforce research efforts on Agronomy, Ecology, Agriculture, Agroforestry and Soil water. The most cited papers with studies in Agronomy featured incorporate elements of Soil organic matter, Soil carbon and Soil fertility. While Agroforestry is the key highlight in the published papers, thet also covered some subjects on Land use and Environmental resource management and Natural resource economics.
The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Agronomy, Species richness, Agriculture, Agroforestry and Soil water. Agronomy research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Actinobacteria and Soil horizon. The studies on Agroforestry discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Biodiversity, Rainfed agriculture, Land use, Ecosystem services and Grassland.
In addition to Soil water research, the journal aims to explore topics under Fertilizer and Microbial population biology. The field of Ecology is the anchor for the Habitat studies presented in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment. Issues in Ecology were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like PEST analysis and Negatively associated.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2022 edition, 13.79% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.00% of all publications and 56.00% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Exploring careers in Plant Science and Agronomy often leads to related fields focused on nutrition, health, and sustainability. For those interested in advancing healthcare with a focus on nutrition, pursuing accelerated NP programs can provide a fast track to becoming a Nurse Practitioner with specialized knowledge that complements agronomy expertise.
Additionally, for professionals aiming to deepen their clinical skills, DNP FNP programs offer affordable online pathways to become a Family Nurse Practitioner, blending plant science insights with patient-centered care.
Nutrition is another closely linked field. Many students pursuing agronomy also consider an online masters in nutrition and dietetics to better understand the impact of plant-based diets on health and food systems. Similarly, for those focusing on dietary planning and food science careers, the best online registered dietitian programs provide a strong foundation to become a registered dietitian with expertise that complements agricultural knowledge.
These related degree options expand career opportunities beyond traditional agriculture, blending science, healthcare, and nutrition for a diverse and impactful professional journey.
