In this issue’s Editors' Choice we are very proud to highlight and acknowledge the achievements of the winner and finalists of the 2014 New Phytologist Tansley Medal competition. The 2014 Tansley Medal was awarded to William Anderegg of Princeton University for his Minireview titled ‘Spatial and temporal variation in plant hydraulic traits and their relevance for climate change impacts on vegetation’. More information on William and the other finalists can be found in the Editorial by Lennon and Dolan (2014).

The 2014 Tansley Medal winner William R. L. Anderegg, Princeton University, NJ, USA

The Minireviews published in the latest issue of New Phytologist showcase the work of seven outstanding scientists, each of whom are in the early stage of their career, and they also encompass all four sections of New Phytologist: Physiology & Development; Environment; Interaction; and Evolution. This outstanding group of articles underscores the excellence of the 2014 winner and finalists, and we offer our heartfelt congratulations to them all.
