Guide to authors: Plant Ecology and Diversity:

Plant Ecology and Diversity is an international journal and the new forum of the Botanical Society of Scotland for communicating results and ideas in plant science. All areas of plant biology relating to ecology, evolution and diversity are of interest, including those which explicitly deal with today's highly topical themes, such as biodiversity, conservation and global change. Submissions concerning cold environments world-wide are particularly welcome. Unique to Plant Ecology and Diversity is its Scottish section, publishing contributions on aspects of botany and plant ecology particular to Scotland (instructions to authors).

Plant Ecology and Diversity has been accepted for inclusion in Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports. It is scheduled to receive its first Impact Factor in 2011

Sponsors:

The BSS would like to thank Scottish Agricultural College, Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh for their support.
