Evolutionary responses of a dominant plant along a successional gradient in a salt-marsh system
Authors

An International Journal
Plant Ecology publishes original scientific papers that report and interpret the findings of pure and applied research into the ecology of vascular plants in terrestrial and wetland ecosystems. Empirical, experimental, theoretical and review papers reporting on ecophysiology, population, community, ecosystem, landscape, molecular and historical ecology are within the scope of the journal.
NEW ARTICLE TYPE
Plant Ecology invites prospective authors to propose and deliver short review-style articles (of up to 5,000 words) on a chosen field of research which identifies what they consider to be the ten most important/influential publications in that field over the past 20 years, and details why they believe this to be the case. These mini reviews will represent the views of the author(s) but should reflect well-considered investigations of the relevant literature, and must stand up to academic scrutiny through appropriate peer review. Here are the latest contemporary issues in plant ecology review articles.
