Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant Systematics is a fundamental field of Biological Sciences, and its knowledge is essential not only for scientists involved in various disciplines of Botany but also for other scientists. In recent decades, the use of new methods and techniques in taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography has led to important scientific discoveries and large-scale revisions of classical views. Additionally, many new plant species are described on an annual basis, proving that continuous and thorough scientific research has much more to offer in this area. Finally, there is an increased scientific interest in conservation biology, as many plant species and their habitats are in immediate threat leading to population loss or even extinction.
This Special Issue is open to articles on taxonomy and phylogeny of vascular plants, phytogeography, plant distribution, and plant conservation.
