ENVIRONMENTAL AND EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY

环境与实验植物学杂志的目标和范围:环境与实验植物学(EEB)发表有关植物对环境反应的物理、化学、生物、分子机制和过程的研究论文。除了研究论文，杂志还包括评论文章。使命与主编意见一致。该杂志还出版特刊，这些特刊由特邀客座编辑制作，与欧洲经济共同体的主要主题有关。该杂志涵盖的领域包括:(1)植物对重金属和污染物的响应(2)植物与水的相互作用(盐度、干旱、洪水)(3)植物对UV-B到红外辐射的响应(4)植物/大气关系(臭氧、CO2、温度)(5)全球变化对植物生态生理学的影响(6)涉及环境因素的生物相互作用。每一份提交的与这些领域有关的稿件都应以一种明确阐述的机械论假设为基础。纯描述性和以下类型的手稿不适合EEB:现场监测调查、没有实验的纯数学建模、纯相关著作、农业和植物病理学应用论文、植物生物学研究、基因表达和不考虑环境因素的分子著作。研究应基于一个明确的假设，为植物对环境的反应提供新的见解，最好为植物抗逆性的新机制提供证据。如果生态学研究为植物对环境的反应提供了良好的生理过程基础，也将受到鼓励。

Aims and Scope of the Journal Environmental and Experimental Botany:Environmental and Experimental Botany (EEB) publishes research papers on the physical, chemical, biological, molecular mechanisms and processes involved in the responses of plants to their environment.In addition to research papers, the journal includes review articles. Submission is in agreement with the Editors-in-Chief.The Journal also publishes special issues which are built by invited guest editors and are related to the main themes of EEB.The areas covered by the Journal include:(1) Responses of plants to heavy metals and pollutants(2) Plant/water interactions (salinity, drought, flooding)(3) Responses of plants to radiations ranging from UV-B to infrared(4) Plant/atmosphere relations (ozone, CO2 , temperature)(5) Global change impacts on plant ecophysiology(6) Biotic interactions involving environmental factors.Each submitted manuscript related to these areas should be preferably based on an explicitly elaborated mechanistic hypothesis. The purely descriptive and following types of manuscripts are not suitable for EEB: field monitoring surveys, pure mathematical modeling without experimentations, pure correlative works, applied papers on agriculture and phytopathology, studies of plant biology, gene expression and molecular works without considering environmental aspects. The research should be based on a clear hypothesis and provide new insights on plant responses to the environment, preferably providing evidence of new mechanisms underlying plant stress resistance. Ecological studies are also encouraged if they provide a sound basis of physiological processes involved in the plant response to the environment.
