環(huán)境與實(shí)驗(yàn)植物學(xué)雜志的目標(biāo)和范圍:環(huán)境與實(shí)驗(yàn)植物學(xué)(EEB)發(fā)表有關(guān)植物對環(huán)境反應(yīng)的物理、化學(xué)、生物、分子機(jī)制和過程的研究論文。除了研究論文，雜志還包括評論文章。使命與主編意見一致。該雜志還出版特刊，這些特刊由特邀客座編輯制作，與歐洲經(jīng)濟(jì)共同體的主要主題有關(guān)。該雜志涵蓋的領(lǐng)域包括:(1)植物對重金屬和污染物的響應(yīng)(2)植物與水的相互作用(鹽度、干旱、洪水)(3)植物對UV-B到紅外輻射的響應(yīng)(4)植物/大氣關(guān)系(臭氧、CO2、溫度)(5)全球變化對植物生態(tài)生理學(xué)的影響(6)涉及環(huán)境因素的生物相互作用。每一份提交的與這些領(lǐng)域有關(guān)的稿件都應(yīng)以一種明確闡述的機(jī)械論假設(shè)為基礎(chǔ)。純描述性和以下類型的手稿不適合EEB:現(xiàn)場監(jiān)測調(diào)查、沒有實(shí)驗(yàn)的純數(shù)學(xué)建模、純相關(guān)著作、農(nóng)業(yè)和植物病理學(xué)應(yīng)用論文、植物生物學(xué)研究、基因表達(dá)和不考慮環(huán)境因素的分子著作。研究應(yīng)基于一個(gè)明確的假設(shè)，為植物對環(huán)境的反應(yīng)提供新的見解，最好為植物抗逆性的新機(jī)制提供證據(jù)。如果生態(tài)學(xué)研究為植物對環(huán)境的反應(yīng)提供了良好的生理過程基礎(chǔ)，也將受到鼓勵(lì)。

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.
