An International Scientific Journal dealing with Applied and Fundamental Research on Macroscopic Submerged, Floating and Emergent Plants in Marine and Freshwater EcosystemsAquatic Botany offers a platform for papers relevant to a broad international readership on fundamental and applied aspects of marine and freshwater macroscopic plants in a context of ecology or environmental biology. This includes molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of macroscopic aquatic plants as well as the classification, structure, function, dynamics and ecological interactions in plant-dominated aquatic communities and ecosystems. It is an outlet for papers dealing with research on the consequences of disturbance and stressors (e.g. environmental fluctuations and climate change, pollution, grazing and pathogens), use and management of aquatic plants (plant production and decomposition, commercial harvest, plant control) and the conservation of aquatic plant communities (breeding, transplantation and restoration). Specialized publications on certain rare taxa or papers on aquatic macroscopic plants from under-represented regions in the world can also find their place, subject to editor evaluation. Studies on fungi or microalgae will remain outside the scope of Aquatic Botany.Interesting for further reading:Editorial: What is a plant? and what is aquatic botany?Elisabeth M.

This journal provides a forum to promote knowledge of harmful microalgae and macroalgae, including cyanobacteria, as well as monitoring, management and control of these organisms. Both original research and review papers will be considered.Papers dealing with the following aspects of harmful microalgae and cyanobacteria in marine and fresh waters will be considered: • The distribution, life histories and taxonomy of harmful microalgae; • The physiology and toxicology of harmful microalgae; • Harmful microalgal bloom ecology; • Trophic, socio-economic, public health and aquacultural impacts of harmful microalgal bloom events; • Occurrence, methods of detection and chemical structure of toxins in harmful microalgae, cyanobacteria, foodwebs and seafood; • Factors controlling toxin production, biosynthesis and chemical ecology.Note: Papers dealing with pharmacology fall outside of the scope of the journal.All papers will be subject to peer review. Authors will receive proofs. The editors, referees, and publisher will make every effort to expedite publication, the co-operation of authors in this task is welcomed.Cover picture by Joe Hlebica, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Multi-Media Group
The Publisher has decided to discontinue the journal New Negatives in Plant Science. Published content will remain available on ScienceDirect.Authors in the field of plant science research will continue to be served by the following journals - see their journal websites for further submission details:https://www.elsevier.com/locate/plantsciPlant Sciencehttps://www.elsevier.com/locate/cpbCurrent Plant Biologyhttps://www.elsevier.com/locate/plaphyPlant Physiology and Biochemistryhttps://www.elsevier.com/locate/jplphJournal of Plant Physiologyhttps://www.elsevier.com/locate/envexpbotEnvironmental and Experimental BotanyThe Publisher regrets any inconvenience to authors, editors and reviewers, and is appreciative of their initial support in trying to get this journal launched.
Production and Hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.. Peer review under the responsibility of Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.Oceanologia, the official journal of the Committee of Marine Research and the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, is an international journal that publishes results of original research in the field of marine sciences with emphasis on the European seas. Manuscripts contributing, but not limited, to the understanding of properties and processes in the marine environment in the aspect of basic sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, ecology and geochemistry will be considered for publication. Special attention will be given to papers devoted to phenomena occurring in the marine environment in the zones characterized by: • gradients of properties (salinity, red-ox, temperature, light field, others), • phases boundaries both abiotic and biotic/abiotic (aqueous/solid, aqueous/gaseous, biotic/solid and biotic/aqueous), • marine-land boundary.We also encourage the submission of manuscripts dealing with multidisciplinary approaches to the investigated phenomena, as well as those devoted to manifestations of contemporary global issues e.g. climate warming and other global change-related phenomena, and/or describing possible and actual adaptations to threats brought by these changes. Preference will be given to manuscripts covering innovative research of global significance over those devoted to strictly local issues, and to papers contributing to the marine ecosystem functioning over strictly descriptive ones.Oceanologia also publishes special and thematic issues dedicated to specific subject areas and events. Prospective Guest Editors of potential special issues must contact the Editor-in-Chief first to check the subject and scope of the special issue.The issues 53(2011)–56(2014) were digitalized thanks to the financial support of the project Index Plus of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education.All issues of the journal Oceanologia published since 2011 are available on ScienceDirect at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00783234, archival issues published before 2011 can be accessed at http://www.iopan.gda.pl/oceanologia/issues.html.For any questions please contact [email protected].
