Standard Papers

Standard Papers report practical or theoretical ecological research and typically comprise up to 12 typeset pages. Longer articles are also considered, if the content justifies the extent.

Essay Reviews

Rather than offering an exhaustive literature survey, Essay Reviews are intended to promote the discussion of a topical area that is of general interest to the readership. The Editors are happy to discuss topics for such articles with authors before submission.

Forum Papers

Forum Papers are designed to stimulate scientific debate. Contributions may be short articles presenting new ideas (without data), opinions or responses to material published in the Journal.

Future Direction Papers

Future Direction Papers briefly outline a provocative new direction for a subdiscipline in plant ecology and intend to challenge currently accepted views. The Editors are happy to discuss topics for such articles with authors before submission.
