Aquatic Botany (AB)
Journal Descriptions
Aquatic Botany is a long‑standing international scientific journal devoted to advancing research on aquatic plant biology, ecology, and environmental interactions. Established in 1975, it serves as a leading outlet for both fundamental and applied studies concerning submerged, floating, and emergent plants in freshwater and marine ecosystems. The journal publishes high‑quality original articles that explore the structure, function, dynamics, classification, molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, and ecological significance of aquatic plant communities and their responses to environmental change. Topics range from primary production and nutrient cycling to ecophysiology, evolutionary adaptations, plant‑ecosystem interactions, and conservation, including the effects of disturbance, stressors, and climate change. With a publication frequency of eight issues per year, Aquatic Botany maintains a rigorous peer‑review process overseen by a diverse editorial board led by internationally recognized scientists from Australia, Mexico, and Portugal. The journal is indexed in major databases like Scopus and BIOSIS and remains a key reference point for researchers, students, and practitioners in aquatic science, marine biology, plant sciences, and ecology. Publications appear in both print and online formats, with the online E‑ISSN 1879‑1522 facilitating global access through ScienceDirect.
