Alpine Botany is an international journal providing a forum for plant science studies at high elevation with links to fungal and microbial ecology, including vegetation and flora of mountain regions worldwide.Alpine Botany publishes original contributions and reviews on biogeography, biosystematics, evolutionary biology, population biology, ecophysiology, functional ecology of vegetation, flora as well as symbiotic associations. We also welcome studies on fungi, mosses and lichens and plant-animal interactions.We aim at contributions that explore plant biological phenomena in order to understand functionally ongoing ecological, evolutionary or physiological processes.Descriptive or applied studies are acceptable, provided that clear research questions are addressed and that findings are presented in a context fitting the scope of the journal. Articles must be relevant for an international readership.Alpine Botany is the official publication of the Swiss Botanical Society and is published by Springer International Publishing AG, Basel, Switzerland. The first issue was published in 1891.

《高山植物學(xué)》是一份國際期刊，為高山植物科學(xué)研究提供了一個(gè)論壇，與真菌和微生物生態(tài)學(xué)，包括世界各地山區(qū)的植被和植物區(qū)系聯(lián)系在一起。高山植物學(xué)在生物地理學(xué)、生物系統(tǒng)學(xué)、進(jìn)化生物學(xué)、種群生物學(xué)、生態(tài)生理學(xué)、植被功能生態(tài)學(xué)、植物區(qū)系和共生關(guān)系等方面發(fā)表原創(chuàng)文章和評(píng)論。我們也歡迎真菌、苔蘚和地衣以及植物與動(dòng)物相互作用的研究。我們的目標(biāo)是探索植物生物學(xué)現(xiàn)象，以了解功能上正在進(jìn)行的生態(tài)、進(jìn)化或生理過程的貢獻(xiàn)。描述性研究或應(yīng)用研究是可以接受的，只要明確的研究問題得到解決，并在符合期刊范圍的背景下提出研究結(jié)果。文章必須與國際讀者相關(guān)。阿爾卑斯植物學(xué)是瑞士植物學(xué)會(huì)的官方出版物，由瑞士巴塞爾施普林格國際出版公司出版。第一期于1891年出版。
