Aims To drive forward the field of Environmental (abiotic) stresses by providing a high-quality evidence base for scientists, managers and policymakers. Increasing the scientific ability of specialists, researchers, students and those interested in the field of environmental (abiotic) stresses in agriculture. Providing the opportunity of publishing the achievements of professors and students to improve the capabilities and free access of researchers in the area of agriculture to the results and findings in the field of environmental (abiotic) stresses in agriculture. Conveying and exchange of scientific information in the field of environmental (abiotic) stresses in agriculture.· The journal examines the problems related to environmental (abiotic) stresses in agriculture and presents the results to those interested in understanding the effects of environmental stresses on crop growth and provides them with up-to-date solutions to deal with the impacts of environmental stresses. Moreover, research studies conducted on other species, such as important medicinal plants and those species live in saline areas (halophytes), will also be accepted provided that they contribute to a basic understanding of the processes related to the acclimatization and adaptation of crop plants under stressful conditions. Horticultural plants (for example, vegetables, ornamental plants and fruit trees) are outside the specialized scope of the journal. It will also be welcomed to send review and theoretical articles by elite researchers that cover various subject areas related to environmental stresses and are the result of their experiences and research. Authors are requested to contact the editor before sending theoretical and review articles in order to know the magazine's interest in the topic and the nature of the article. Articles related to novel subjects in the field of environmental stresses are especially welcomed. Thematic scope of the journal Interactions between abiotic and biotic stresses Breeding plants for stress conditions Biotechnology and environmental stresses Physiology of crops under stress conditions Drought stress Salinity stress Cold stress Chilling stress Heat stress Flooding stress Heavy metals Light stress
