Plants under stress

Environment section

Global environmental change is one of the key focus areas of the environment section of New Phytologist, embracing modelling and ecosystem-level experiments through to cellular responses. Environmental stress and ecophysiology are also covered in depth, with the emphasis on the most novel approaches. There is synergy with the other sections here, most prominently in heavy metal tolerance and eco-devo (Function/Evolution) and plant–soil processes (Interaction). Indeed, breadth of coverage, with no subject exclusions, is central to our philosophy.

The strength of the Environment section of the journal is exemplified by our range of Special Issues and Features [PDF], and in the Tansley reviews, which are free to download.
