The Journal of Vegetation Science publishes papers on all aspects of plant community ecology, with particular emphasis on papers that develop new concepts or methods, test theory, identify general patterns, or that are otherwise likely to interest a broad international readership. Papers may focus on any aspect of vegetation science, e.g. community structure (including community assembly and plant functional types), biodiversity (including species richness and composition), spatial patterns (including plant geography and landscape ecology), temporal changes (including demography, community dynamics and palaeoecology) and processes (including ecophysiology), provided the focus is on increasing our understanding of plant communities. The Journal publishes papers on the ecology of a single species only if it plays a key role in structuring plant communities. Papers that apply ecological concepts, theories and methods to the vegetation management, conservation and restoration, and papers on vegetation survey should be directed to our associate journal, Applied Vegetation Science journal.
《植物科学杂志》发表关于植物群落生态学各个方面的论文，特别强调发展新概念或方法、测试理论、识别一般模式或其他可能引起广泛国际读者兴趣的论文。论文可以关注植被科学的任何方面，例如群落结构（包括群落组合和植物功能类型）、生物多样性（包括物种丰富度和组成）、空间格局（包括植物地理学和景观生态学）、时间变化（包括人口统计学、群落动态和古生态学）和过程（包括生态生理学），前提是重点是增加我们对植物群落的理解。该杂志发表的论文，生态学的单一物种，只有当它发挥关键作用，在结构植物群落。将生态学概念、理论和方法应用于植被管理、保护和恢复的论文，以及植被调查的论文，应提交给我们的副刊《应用植被科学》杂志。
