ANNALES BOTANICI FENNICI
Scope & Guideline
Exploring the Depths of Ecology and Plant Science
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Plant Taxonomy and Systematics:
The journal primarily publishes research related to the taxonomy and systematics of vascular plants, highlighting the identification and classification of new species, as well as the re-evaluation of existing taxa. - Nomenclatural Studies:
It places significant emphasis on nomenclatural research, including typifications, lectotypifications, and the resolution of taxonomic ambiguities, which are critical for maintaining a stable and universally accepted plant naming system. - Biodiversity Documentation:
The journal contributes to the documentation of biodiversity, particularly in under-studied regions such as Turkey, Iran, and various parts of Asia, providing valuable information on plant diversity and distribution. - Molecular Phylogenetics:
Recent publications have increasingly included molecular phylogenetic studies, which complement morphological assessments, thus providing a more comprehensive understanding of plant relationships and evolution. - Habitat and Ecological Studies:
The journal also explores morphological variability in relation to different habitats, enhancing the understanding of how environmental factors influence plant characteristics.
Trending and Emerging
- New Species Descriptions:
There has been a marked increase in the description of new species, with numerous papers dedicated to documenting previously unrecognized taxa, particularly from biodiverse regions. - Molecular Phylogenetics and Genomics:
An emerging trend is the integration of molecular phylogenetics, with studies utilizing genetic data to resolve taxonomic uncertainties and understand evolutionary relationships. - Regional Flora Studies:
The focus on regional flora, especially from less-explored areas like Kurdistan and the Western Ghats, has gained traction, contributing to the global understanding of plant diversity. - Invasive Species Research:
Research addressing the impact of invasive species and their management has increased, reflecting a growing concern about ecological balance and biodiversity. - Ecological Interactions:
Emerging themes include studies on the ecological interactions between species and their environments, enhancing the understanding of habitat-specific adaptations.
Declining or Waning
- Non-Vascular Plant Research:
There has been a noticeable decline in publications focusing on non-vascular plants, such as bryophytes and lichens, indicating a shift towards vascular plant studies. - General Ecology Studies:
The journal seems to be moving away from broader ecological studies that do not directly relate to taxonomy or systematics, focusing instead on specific taxonomic contributions. - Traditional Botanical Expeditions:
Research stemming from traditional botanical expeditions has decreased, possibly due to a greater emphasis on molecular and genetic studies over classical fieldwork.
