Aims and Scope
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology is an international journal for the publication of original articles and reviews on the inter-relationship between meteorology, agriculture, forestry, and natural ecosystems. Emphasis is on basic and applied scientific research relevant to practical problems in the field of plant and soil sciences, ecology and biogeochemistry as affected by weather as well as climate variability and change. Theoretical models should be tested against experimental data. Articles must appeal to an international audience. Special issues devoted to single topics are also published.
Typical topics include canopy micrometeorology (e.g. canopy radiation transfer, turbulence near the ground, evapotranspiration, energy balance, fluxes of trace gases), micrometeorological instrumentation (e.g., sensors for trace gases, flux measurement instruments, radiation measurement techniques), aerobiology (e.g. the dispersion of pollen, spores, insects and pesticides), biometeorology (e.g. the effect of weather and climate on plant distribution, crop yield, water-use efficiency, and plant phenology), forest-fire/weather interactions, and feedbacks from vegetation to weather and the climate system.

Verified Reviews
2021-09-03 Rejection (Both reviewers recommended major revisions, but one reviewer suggested resubmission. Editor rejected the paper but provided an opportunity for resubmission.)
2021-12-02 Resubmission after revisions (Took three months due to procrastination)
2022-01-20 Major revisions given two months
2022-03-22 Revised again
2022-06-06 Accepted directly
My first SCI paper took nearly a year, including the initial rejection and resubmission due to poor writing on my part. From the second submission onwards, excluding my own procrastination time, the total processing time of the journal was four months, which might be considered relatively slow. The most crucial factor was my own procrastination in making the necessary revisions to the paper.
1) AFM has better quality and higher recognition than JOH, and this is beyond doubt.
2) AFM has a longer publication cycle and publishes fewer articles per year.
3) JOH covers a wide range of topics, making it somewhat miscellaneous, while AFM is more specialized, especially in the fields of ecology, ecohydrology, fluxes, and meteorology.
4) If you have confidence in your article and are not in a hurry to publish, I would recommend submitting to AFM. Otherwise, I would suggest JOH, considering that it is also a first-tier journal.
