Call to contribute to a Special Collection “Vegetation classification of islands and archipelagos”

Call to contribute to a Special Collection “Vegetation classification of islands and archipelagos” in Vegetation Classification and Survey

We are pleased to announce the upcoming Special Collection on the vegetation of islands and archipelagos worldwide in IAVS’ gold open access journal Vegetation Classification and Survey (VCS). According to the scope of VCS, contributions either need to develop or to apply a vegetation classification framework of any type. For example, this can be a phytosociological classification system, the International Vegetation Classification (IVC), habitat types, formations, or biomes. We envisage particularly the following types of contributions:

• Classification of selected vegetation types occurring on islands
• Vegetation maps of islands
• Synthetic overviews of all vegetation types of an island or archipelago
• Conservation assessment of vegetation types of an island or archipelago
• Quantifying vegetation change in terms of turnover of vegetation types
