Crop Science
暫譯: 作物科學

本書提供了一個全面且最先進的參考來源，以理解在各種條件下影響產量和品質的功能和機制。透過揭示成功且可擴展的作物管理和育種的關係與挑戰，本書針對環境友好的大宗和高品質食品、飼料、纖維及能源的生產挑戰，這些都是當前國際關注的議題。當代農業和作物管理面臨著在數量和質量生產目標上日益增長的需求挑戰。這些目標必須在氣候變遷的背景下實現，包括土壤和水資源的短缺以及氣溫上升，還有農業可持續性的環境和社會方面。本書將作物生產視為一個活躍的來源，提供方法、理論、理念和工具，以應用於基因改良和農學。

Dr. Roxana Savin (Ph.D. in crop physiology at the University of Melbourne, Australia) is currently Professor of the University of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain, Associate Editor of Crop Science, and Coeditor in Chief of Field Crops Research. Her expertise is focused on physiology of yield (both potential and under stress) and grain quality, carbon and nitrogen relationships, and heat and water stress, with some experience in crop modelling. Dr. Savin has published more than 50 papers in JCR-indexed journals and 23 chapters in scientific books of international publishers (e.g., Elsevier, CABI, Springer, Academic Press, Taylor & Francis, etc.) and has coedited Barley Science: Recent Advances from Molecular Biology to Agronomy of Yield and Quality in 2002, published by Haworth Press (USA), and coedited the Crop Science and Technology section in 2012, in Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology (Springer). Her h-index is 25 (Web of Science, Core Collection) as of March 2018.

Dr. Gustavo A. Slafer (Ph.D., University of Melbourne) is an ICREA (the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies) Research Professor at, and Associate Professor in, the University of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. He is also currently (i) Honorary Professor of the School of Biosciences, University of Nottingham, UK; (ii) Associate Editor of Crop Science, Euphytica, and Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research; (iii) Member of the Editorial Boards of Field Crops Research, European Journal of Agronomy, and Food and Energy Security; and Member of the Advisory Board of Agricultural and Food Science. Dr. Slafer's main research interest is the mechanisms underlying the responses of field crops to environmental and genetic factors, focused at the crop level of organization. His expertise is focused on physiology of yield (both potential and under stress), carbon and nitrogen relationships, and ecophysiology of crop developmental processes, with some experience in crop modelling, plant physiology, and agroecology. Dr. Slafer has published more than 170 papers in JCR-indexed journals, the vast majority (more than 90%) in Q1 journals. In addition, Dr. Slafer has also published more than 40 chapters in scientific books of international publishers (e.g., Elsevier, CABI, Springer, Academic Press, Taylor & Francis, etc.) and has edited 6 scientific books published by CABI (UK), Haworth Press (USA), and Marcel Dekker (USA). His h-index as of March 2018 is 50 (Web of Science, Core Collection).

羅克薩娜·薩文博士（澳大利亞墨爾本大學作物生理學博士）目前是西班牙加泰羅尼亞省利達大學的教授、《作物科學》期刊的副編輯，以及《田間作物研究》的共同主編。她的專業領域集中在產量生理（包括潛在產量和在壓力下的產量）、穀物品質、碳和氮的關係，以及熱和水的壓力，並在作物建模方面有一些經驗。薩文博士已在JCR索引期刊上發表了超過50篇論文，並在國際出版社的科學書籍中撰寫了23章（例如，Elsevier、CABI、Springer、Academic Press、Taylor & Francis等），並於2002年共同編輯了《大麥科學：從分子生物學到產量和品質的農藝學的最新進展》，該書由Haworth Press（美國）出版，並於2012年共同編輯了《可持續科學與技術百科全書》（Springer）中的作物科學與技術部分。截止2018年3月，她的h指數為25（Web of Science, Core Collection）。
