About the journal
Plant Ecology
|
Plant Ecology (formerly, Vegetatio) publishes original scientific papers dealing with the ecology of vascular plants and bryophytes in terrestrial, aquatic and wetland ecosystems. Papers reporting on descriptive, historical, and experimental studies of any aspect of plant population, physiological, community, ecosystem and landscape ecology as well as on theoretical ecology are within the scope of the journal. Symposium proceedings, review articles, book reviews, and comments on recent papers in the journal are also published. |

Instructions to Authors
Plant Ecology publishes original articles, short notes and review articles in all fields of terrestrial and aquatic plant ecology. Manuscripts reporting results of descriptive, historical and experimental studies on any aspect of plant physiological, population, community, ecosystem and landscape ecology are solicited as well as manuscripts on ecological theory. Plant Ecology also publishes book reviews and notices of scientific meetings. Manuscripts must be in English.
Manuscript submission and correspondence
Manuscripts should be submitted in quadruplicate (an original and three copies) to the: Editorial Office-Plant Ecology
Kluwer Academic Publishers
P.O. Box 990
3300 AZ Dordrecht
The Netherlands.
All four (4) copies should include all tables and figures. One copy should contain the originals of figures and plates, and its cover page should indicate this by being labeled the original. If the manuscript is not accepted for publication, originals of figures and plates will be returned to the author(s). If possible, an electronic copy of the manuscript on diskette (IBM compatible, using WordPerfect, Wordstar or MS Word) should also be sent. Receipt of manuscripts will always be confirmed.
The name, address, telephone and fax number of the author responsible for correspondence, reprints, etc. should be sent on a separate page or in the cover letter. Names, addresses, and telephone and fax numbers of potential referees for a manuscript may also be submitted in the cover letter. Recommended referees may not have reviewed the manuscript and may not have any personal, institutional, or professional relationship with the author(s). The Editor-in-Chief is under no obligation, however, to use a recommended referee.
Manuscripts are reviewed by members of the Editorial Board, appropriate referees, and the Editor-in-Chief. The final decision to accept or reject a manuscript is made by the Editor-in-Chief. The Editorial Office will inform authors on acceptance, revision, or rejection of manuscripts. Revised manuscripts should be submitted in duplicate (and an electronic copy on disk, if possible) to the Editorial Office within 3 months or else the manuscript will be sent out again for review.
All correspondence concerning submitted manuscripts should refer to the manuscript number and should be sent to the Editorial Office. If the author handling correspondence changes address, the Editorial Office should be notified immediately.
There are no page charges. Papers accepted for publication become copyright of Kluwer Academic Publishers.
Manuscript preparation
- Manuscripts must be typed or printed double-spaced on one side of standard size paper (A4 or 8.5 x 11 inch) with margins of at least 25 mm or 1 inch. All pages including tables and figures should be numbered.
- Manuscripts should be concise and precise. The CBE Style Manual, available from the AIBS, Washington, D.C., USA, is recommended for stylistic details. Always consult a recent issue of the journal for details on format, sequence of headings and arrangement of the manuscript.
- The Title and name(s) and address(es) of the author(s) should be placed on the first page of the manuscript. The title should be informative and brief, usually no more than 15 words. Subtitles should be avoided. If an electronic copy of the manuscript is submitted on disk, the name of the file, operating system and word processor used to prepare the manuscript should be indicated on the title page.
Key Words
Up to six Key words should be provided that are not included in the title. They should be placed in alphabetical order at the top of page 2.
Abstract
An Abstract must be included. It should be factual and not exceed 350 words. The Abstract should be placed after the Keywords on the second page of the manuscript.
Main Text
Should start on a new page. For research papers, the text should normally consist of five sections: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and References. Primary headings are left justified and in bold and secondary headings are left justified and in italics. All paragraphs should be indented, except those immediately after a heading. Footnotes should be avoided. The International System of Units (SI) should be used for all measurements.
Nomenclature
The basis for the Nomenclature of taxa and syntaxa used should be indicated in the Methods section as should the latitude and longitude of the study site(s), if appropriate.
Acknowledgments and dedications
Must be placed after the Main text and before the References.
References
References to articles and books should be limited to published work, work in press, or theses and dissertations. Citations in the text should use the following forms: Jones (1990), Smith & Jones (1992) or (Smith et al. 1991).
References should be listed in alphabetical order. Names of journals should not be abbreviated. Check the manuscript to make sure that all references are cited and that all citations in the text are included in the References. Also check to make sure that all citations have the correct format.

Appendices
Information too detailed to be included in the main text, for instance a list of areas sampled or technical details of a model, may be presented in appendices. Appendices should be numbered sequentially and placed before the References.
Figures
- Line drawings should be prepared so that they can be reduced to one column or full page width with text still readable. Author name(s) and figure number should be written in pencil on each figure. Figures should be cited in the text as Fig. 1 or Figs. 1 and 2.
- Figures should be placed after the References (and Appendices, if any) in the manuscript. They should be preceded by the figure legends on a separate page. Indicate in the margins of the manuscript where figures should be placed.
- Photographs should be supplied as black-and-white high contrast glossy prints.
Tables
Tables must be on separate pages, double spaced and numbered sequentially. The tables should be prepared so that they can be printed in one column or full page width. Tables should be submitted at the end of the manuscript. Indicate in the margins of the manuscript where tables should be placed.
Scientific names
Scientific names of genera and species should be given in full with authority when they are cited for the first time. If species names occur repeatedly in the text the genus name may be abbreviated or, if no confusion arises, only the genus name may be used. Common names should not be used.
Formulae
Formulae should be presented in the text. Complicated formulae should be collected and presented as a figure in camera-ready appearance. Mathematical derivations should be kept to a minimum and put in an appendix.
Italics
Italics should be used for secondary headings, scientific names of taxa (genus and lower) and syntaxa, algebraic expressions and symbols in formulae. If italics can not be printed, text to be set in italics can be indicated by underlining it once. Bold text, i.e., primary headings, can be indicated by underlining it twice if it cannot be printed.
Page proofs
Page proofs are sent to the author(s) together with the manuscript. The corrected proofs, together with the manuscript, should be returned to the Editorial Office without delay. Instructions for proof correction will be included with the proofs.
Reprints
Fifty free reprints of each paper will be provided. Additional reprints can be ordered from the Publishers on the order form accompanying the proofs.
Book reviews
Submit books and monographs to be reviewed to the Book Review Editor (see list of members of the Editorial Board for address). Anyone who wishes to review books for Plant Ecology should send a curriculum vitae and brief description of their area of expertise to the book review editor.
