Plant Ecology

Plant ecology studies the relationships between plants and their local environment, including both physical and biotic components.

This includes plant-plant interactions that determine the evolution of competitive traits; how plants sense and respond to pests, pathogens, or predators; their commensal and/or symbiotic associations with other organisms; and how they adapt to climate changes.

The aim of this collection is to shed light on the eco-evolutionary dynamics that govern natural plant populations and predict how these (a)biotic interactions of plant communities will respond to current and future global changes.

A non-exhaustive list of topics includes:

• Plant ecophysiology
• Plant environment interactions
• Population ecology
• Community ecology
• Ecosystem ecology
• Landscape ecology
• Evolutionary ecology
• Biodiversity and conservation
