Folia Geobotanica covers the broad topics of plant ecology, vegetation science and plant systematics, focusing primarily on plant species in a structured environment. In the area of plant ecology, Folia Geobotanica publishes papers that deal with population and community ecology, in particular when linked with environment response. Within plant systematics, the journal publishes papers on systematic and evolutionary botany, including phylogeny reconstructions, phylogeographic and biogeographic inferences, studies on microevolutionary processes, taxonomic studies, and broader taxonomic revisions. Apart from regular papers, the journal also publishes book reviews and Forum discussion papers that raise important topics of broader interest. Occasionally, Special issues may be published on various topics in plant ecology and plant systematic that often stem from activities at international conferences geared toward a specific problem. An international Editorial Board, and a well-developed review procedure help to guarantee the high quality of the papers published.Slavomil Hejn? and Jaroslav Moravec established the journal in 1966 (under the name Folia Geobotanica & Phytotaxonomica), in what was then the Institute of Botany of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. From 2008 it is published by Springer.Folia Geobotanica is co-published with the Institute of Botany, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

Folia Geobotanica涵蓋植物生態學、植被科學和植物系統學的廣泛主題，主要關注結構化環境中的植物物種。在植物生態學領域，Folia Geobotanica發表了關于人口和社區生態學的論文，特別是與環境響應相關的論文。在植物系統學方面，該雜志發表了關于系統和進化植物學的論文，包括系統發育重建、系統地理和生物地理推斷、微進化過程研究、分類學研究和更廣泛的分類學修訂。除了定期發表論文外，《華爾街日報》還發表書評和論壇討論論文，提出更廣泛關注的重要話題。有時，植物生態學和植物系統學的各種專題可能會發表一些特別的問題，這些專題往往源于針對特定問題的國際會議的活動。一個國際編輯委員會和一個完善的審查程序有助于保證所發表論文的高質量。Slavomil Hejny和Jaroslav Moravec于1966年(以Folia Geobotanica & plant taxonomica的名義)在捷克斯洛伐克科學院的植物學研究所創辦了該雜志。從2008年開始由施普林格出版。Folia Geobotanica與捷克共和國科學院植物研究所共同出版。
