Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Landscape Architecture provides environmental, social, and aesthetic benefits to society, especially when incorporating nature-based solutions. Global climate change is the defining environmental issue of our time and, thus, the sustainable design and management of green spaces is a necessity. The floriculture sector supplies the landscape industry with the living material for sustainable landscape design and constructions.
In this Special Issue of Plants, we welcome research articles that address the relationship between ornamental plants and the landscape in the following subject areas: ecophysiology and environmental physiology of ornamental plants; propagation, growth, and flowering manipulation of ornamental plants; exploitation of native plant genetic resources and breeding to introduce new species into the floriculture and landscape industry; cultivation and production technology of ornamental plants; growth substrates; design and management of green spaces; historical green spaces; botanic gardens; healing gardens; green corridors; green roofs; living walls; archaeological site vegetation management; green technologies; tree management; turf grass science and management; sustainable design and management of open spaces; xeriscaping; climate change and air pollution mitigation with plants; urban horticulture; allotment gardens; ecological engineering; water management for green spaces; suds; rain gardens; schoolyard gardens; landscape ecology; urban biodiversity; landscape restoration; and social, economic and legislative aspects of green spaces.
