Special Issue on Plant Diversity

It is estimated that there are between 300,000 and 500,000 species of higher plants, of which approximately 250,000 have been identified or described. The diversity of plant life exists for many reasons - a key factor being adaptive changes which allow different species to thrive in the many varied environments of the world. Plants have developed adaptations for different soil types, methods of pollination, daylight hours, temperature, altitude, competition with other plants. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of plant diversity.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore plant diversity. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Plant systematics and taxonomy
• Plant evolution and diversity
• Phytotaxonomy and systematics
• Morphology, anatomy and geobotany
• Plant genetic diversity
• Plant species diversity

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’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Plant Diversity” should be selected during your Submission.
