Special Issue on Plant Diversity Research

Plants play a key role in ecosystems. Plant diversity is invaluable because it balances ecosystems, protects watersheds, mitigates erosion, moderates climate, and provides shelter for animals. Human population, pollution, deforestation, and species extinction are progressing at an alarming rate threaten to plant diversity.

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

• Species systematics and characteristics
• Plant distribution and dispersal
• Plant genetic resources and databases
• Phylogenetics and evolution
• Plant diversity and ecology
• Major threats to plant diversity
• Plant protection and habitat restoration
• Plant and its interactions with the environment

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines 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 – Plant Diversity Research” should be selected during your submission.
