Special Issue on Tropical Vegetation

Tropical Vegetation is a general term referring to vegetation in tropical latitudes. Tropical ecosystems harbor rich biodiversity, and are often coupled with high species endemism. Rainforests are home to half of all the living animal and plant species on the planet and roughly two-thirds of all flowering plants can be found in rainforests. Therefore, the research on tropical vegetation may be of great significance.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring tropical vegetation. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Ecology
• Phytochemistry
• Phytopathology
• Phylogenetics and evolution
• Plant genetics
• Dendrochronology
• Physiology
• Medicinal ethnobotany
• Biotechnology and applications

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Tropical Vegetation” should be selected during your submission.
