KEY WORDS

Editorial/Publisher's Note

In order to facilitate the retrieval of information published in the journal of Agricultural and Forest Meteorology we would like to ask authors to provide 4 to 6 keywords to their article. These must be taken from the index below and should be placed beneath the abstract.

The following guidelines should be taken into consideration. Where appropriate authors should provide the name of plant, crop or animal along with the proper Latin binomial (genus and species). Examples of these terms are listed below.

In addition to the above terms, which will appear on an ad hoc basis, there is a list of general terms, which will be updated from time to time.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation on this matter,

Elsevier Science B.V. Publisher/Editor (Don Aylor)
