Plant Ecology & Diversity

期刊简介：Plant Ecology and Diversity is an international journal for communicating results and novel ideas in plant science, in print and on-line, six times a year. 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. We consider submissions that address fundamental questions which are pertinent to contemporary plant science. Articles concerning extreme environments world-wide are particularly welcome. Plant Ecology and Diversity considers for publication original research articles, short communications, reviews, and scientific correspondence that explore thought-provoking ideas. To aid redressing ‘publication bias’ the journal is unique in reporting, in the form of short communications, ‘negative results’ and ‘repeat experiments’ that test ecological theories experimentally, in theoretically flawless and methodologically sound papers. Research reviews and method papers, are also encouraged. Plant Ecology & Diversity publishes high-quality and topical research that demonstrates solid scholarship. As such, the journal does not publish purely descriptive papers. Submissions are required to focus on research topics that are broad in their scope and thus provide new insights and contribute to theory. The original research should address clear hypotheses that test theory or questions and offer new insights on topics of interest to an international readership.

【译文】《植物生态与多样性》是一本国际期刊，用于交流植物科学领域的结果和新的想法，每年印刷和在线出版六次。所有与生态、进化和多样性相关的植物生物学领域都感兴趣，包括那些明确处理当今高度热门主题的领域，如生物多样性、保护和全球变化。我们考虑那些针对当代植物科学的基本问题的投稿。特别欢迎关于全球极端环境的文章。植物生态与多样性考虑发表原创研究文章、简报、综述和科学通信，这些文章探讨引人深思的观点。为了纠正‘发表偏差’，该期刊独特地以简报的形式报告‘负面结果’和‘重复实验’，这些实验测试生态理论，在理论上完美无缺，在方法上严谨。也鼓励发表研究综述和方法论文。植物生态与多样性发表高质量和前沿的研究，这些研究展示了坚实的学术研究。因此，该期刊不发表纯粹描述性的论文。投稿必须关注范围广泛的科研主题，从而提供新的见解并有助于理论的发展。原创研究应针对明确的假设，这些假设测试理论或问题，并为国际读者感兴趣的主题提供新的见解。
