Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics
Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics is a young international journal which provides a platform for reviews and longer research articles in the fields of ecology, evolution and systematics of plants.
The journal is supported by the Rübel Foundation, a private trust associated with the Geobotanical Institute of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. The foundation looks back on a continuous tradition of publishing for more than 70 years and is widely known and respected for a number of classic publications in European plant ecology and systematics.
Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics
- Focus on the ecology, evolution and systematics of plants
- Informed perspectives on themes of current interest and debate
- Full length reviews

- Applied as well as pure science.
Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics is included in the Research4Life program. Research4Life (http://www.research4life.org/) is a partnership of United Nations agencies, universities, and publishers that makes journal articles available for free or at very low cost to institutions in developing countries.
