Journal Title：Aquatic Botany

Aquatic Botany offers a platform for papers relevant to a broad international readership on fundamental and applied aspects of marine and freshwater macroscopic plants in a context of ecology or environmental biology. This includes molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of macroscopic aquatic plants as well as the classification, structure, function, dynamics and ecological interactions in plant-dominated aquatic communities and ecosystems. It is an outlet for papers dealing with research on the consequences of disturbance and stressors (e.g. environmental fluctuations and climate change, pollution, grazing and pathogens), use and management of aquatic plants (plant production and decomposition, commercial harvest, plant control) and the conservation of aquatic plant communities (breeding, transplantation and restoration). Specialized publications on certain rare taxa or papers on aquatic macroscopic plants from under-represented regions in the world can also find their place, subject to editor evaluation. Studies on fungi or microalgae will remain outside the scope of Aquatic Botany.

Aquatic Botany 为与广大国际读者相关的论文提供了一个平台，内容涉及生态或环境生物学背景下海洋和淡水宏观植物的基础和应用方面。这包括宏观水生植物的分子、生化和生理方面，以及以植物为主的水生群落和生态系统中的分类、结构、功能、动力学和生态相互作用。它是处理干扰和压力源（例如环境波动和气候变化、污染、放牧和病原体）的后果、水生植物的使用和管理（植物生产和分解、商业收获、植物控制）和水生植物群落的保护（育种、移植和恢复）。关于某些稀有类群的专业出版物或来自世界上代表性不足的地区的水生宏观植物的论文也可以找到它们的位置，但需要接受编辑评估。真菌或微藻的研究将不在水生植物学的范围内。
