Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on plant sociology, particularly the classification, distribution, and conservation of plant communities and habitats. It frequently publishes data on the occurrence and distribution of specific plant species and habitat types, often in relation to European conservation directives like Natura 2000. Studies also investigate vegetation dynamics, ecological factors influencing plant communities, and the impact of management practices and anthropogenic disturbances on plant diversity.
