We welcome manuscripts advancing our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning plant responses/acclimation/adaptation to environmental change (temperature and light fluctuations, drought/flooding, and forest fire etc.) at genetic/epigenetic, physiological and ecosystem levels.
Ecophysiology studies on an individual/community/ecosystem/landscape scale covering plant functional processes such as gas exchange, mineral nutrition uptake/assimilation, primary and secondary metabolisms, water relations, growth and interaction with other organisms, can provide fundamental perspectives on agriculture and nature conservation.
