About JournalMORE+
Journal of Yunnan Agricultural University (Natural Science) (bimonthly, ISSN 1004-390X) is supervised by the Department of Education of Yunnan Province and organized by Yunnan Agricultural University. It was founded in 1986 as a biannual publication, changed to a quarterly publication in 1989, and became a bimonthly publication in 2004. It is an academic research journal for public circulation at home and abroad, and is Chinese science citation database (CSCD) source journals, a guide to the core journals of China, top 100 sci-tech journals of Chinese universities, Chinese science and technical core journals, and China agriculture and forestry core journals (category A).
This journal mainly publishes academic papers, research reports, and research briefs written with first-hand information in the fields of biotechnology and agrobiodiversity research, crop genetic breeding research, plant protection, soil science, horticulture and food science, animal science, agricultural ecology and environmental science, and agricultural engineering.
Journal of Yunnan Agricultural University relies on a strict peer review system to guarantee the academic level of published papers. All published articles are subject to three reviews, i.e., preliminary review by the editorial board (checking for new articles); review by peer experts; and final review by the editor-in-chief. The target readers are scientific and technological workers engaged in agricultural and biological sciences research, teachers and students of universities and colleges, and professionals of the same level.
Journal of Yunnan Agricultural University is a fully open access journal with an independent website and full text database. The website of the journal has the functions of "online submission by authors", "online review by experts", "online inquiry by authors", "remote editing" and "online subscription". The journal's website has the functions of "authors' online submission", "experts' online review", "authors' online inquiry", "remote editing" and "online subscription". At present, most of the editing processes are carried out online, from receiving, reviewing to revising manuscripts. In addition, it provides readers with the full text (PDF format) of the latest acceptances, titles and abstracts of current issues, and past issues, as well as free full-text search services.

Special Recommendation: Optimizing and Enhancing Agroecosystems through Diversified Cropping
Amid the context of global food security and sustainable agricultural development, diversified cropping is increasingly recognized as an effective agricultural management strategy. This virtual collection focuses on the research outcomes of diversified cropping in optimizing interspecific niches, enhancing resource use efficiency, increasing farmland biodiversity, and strengthening ecosystem resilience. Through appropriate practices such as crop rotation, intercropping, and relay cropping, diversified cropping not only improves soil structure, enhances soil fertility, and reduces the incidence of soil-borne diseases but also significantly boosts soil carbon sequestration capacity and the overall stability of agroecosystems. These benefits are crucial for improving crop yield and quality, enhancing agricultural system productivity, and achieving sustainable agriculture. The research included in this collection demonstrates the practical effects of diversified cropping in various crop systems and its positive impacts on ecological environments. Together, these studies underscore that optimizing planting structures and management practices can effectively address the resource limitations and environmental pressures currently faced by agriculture. The publication of this virtual collection aims to provide cutting-edge scientific evidence for researchers and agricultural practitioners, promoting the broader adoption and development of diversified cropping models, and offering robust support for sustainable agricultural development and long-term ecosystem health.
