Publications
of the Botanical Society of Scotland
From 2008,
BSS will produce a new quarterly scientific journal, Plant
Ecology and Diversity to replace
the Botanical Journal of
Scotland. The
new journal will be published by Taylor
& Francis.
Plant
Ecology and Diversity
will be the new forum of the Botanical Society of Scotland for
communicating ideas in plant biological science. All areas of plant biology are of
interest, including those which explicitly deal with today's highly topical
themes, such as biodiversity, conservation and global change. Submissions
concerning cold environments world-wide will be particularly welcome. A unique
feature of Plant Ecology and Diversity will be a special section that reports
‘negative results’ and ‘repeat experiments’ that test ecological
theories in an experimental way, offering an exclusive forum for theoretically
flawless and methodologically sound papers. Also unique to Plant Ecology and
Diversity will be its Scottish section, publishing contributions on aspects of
botany and plant ecology particular to Scotland. The first issue of the new
journal will be published early in 2008.
The Botanical Journal of Scotland
was a continuation of the
Transactions of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh, which was first published in
1844,and contained high-quality peer-reviewed Research Papers, Review Articles,
Short
Communications and Book Reviews. Some highlights of a century's output are
reviewed and reproduced in the latest issue of the Botanical
Journal of Scotland, Volume 58 (2).
BSS
News,
published twice yearly in March and September, contains articles of topical and local interest,
and is a means of keeping in touch with the Membership.
