Submission guidelines
Instructions for authors
Article Types
Before submitting a paper, it is advised to browse a few previous journal issues to check the general journal scope. There are four main types of papers:
Research papers
Forum papers
Opinion papers
Review papers
Technical reports
Original research papers present original investigations that offer new insights in the fields of plant ecology, vegetation science and plant taxonomy and biosystematics. They form the core of the journal. Even long papers are considered as original research papers provided they are of sufficient general interest and their length is justified by contents. The journal publishes both observational and experimental papers. Theoretical and methodological soundness is a condition for acceptance; papers presenting data without further interpretation are not accepted. Syntaxonomical papers are published only if they are of interest to more general readership, e.g., if they contain methodological novelties or synoptic treatments across larger regions. Descriptions of new taxa (species and below) should be based on the sufficient amount of material and properly justified using advanced methods of plant taxonomy. They should be accompanied by an illustration (line drawing) clearly showing the diagnostic characters, comparison with related taxa in a dichotomous key or table, as well as by discussion of the diagnostic characters, ecology, geography, or reproductive biology. Descriptions of new taxa are welcome, but only if given as part of a thorough systematic study based on a sufficient amount of plant material and original data. Pure descriptions based on only a few herbarium specimens and/or without sound data cannot be considered.
Forum papers are discussion papers that raise important topics of broader interest. They are shorter (typically not exceeding 4000 words) and may use lighter style. If they raise a topic that is likely to stimulate wider discussion, the editors may solicit other papers to comment on the issue to form a special forum issue; all papers are then typically published in one journal issue. Proposals for forum issues should be submitted to one of the Editors-in-Chief.
Opinion papers are papers where authors share their opinions on current questions in ecology or plant systematics and associated methodological issues. These papers are shorter (typically not exceeding 4000 words) and may use lighter style.
The review papers bring critical overview of state of the art of the topic in the fields of plant ecology and systematics. Structure of the manuscript is free and depends on message. Length of the text is not restricted but should be justified by content.
The aim of technical reports is to inform about new databases, techniques and approaches, or computer programs in the fields of plant ecology and systematics. The reports should be concise, with the main body of the text (without Abstract and References) usually not exceeding 2000 words, and with Abstract up to 200 words.
Suggested structure of the database reports (taxonomic, life-history traits, vegetation, etc.) is as follows: i) purpose, ii) description of the data stored including history of the database, geographic region, number of items stored, vegetation types or taxonomic groups included, iii) technical structure of the database describing data storage and their retrieval, iv) database accessibility and conditions of using the data and v) outline of potential applications.
Technical reports are processed by a peer-review procedure as regular papers. Editors and reviewers will also check the functionality of the databases/computer programs. Databases with a small geographical/taxonomic coverage, very limited amount of data stored, low accessibility by scientific community, minor scientific relevance, or with major flaws are unlikely to be published in FG.
Occasionally, Special issues may be published on various topics in plant ecology, and plant systematics. The journal will therefore consider proposals for special issues resulting from conferences or workshops in the field. Proposals for Special issues should be submitted to one of the Editors-in-Chief.
Manuscript submission
Legal requirements
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
How to submit
Authors should submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times. Please connect directly to the site and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.
Papers should have line numbering.

Citation in text
Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses, ordered chronologically. Some examples:
o Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
o This result was later contradicted (Becker and Seligman 1996).
o This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Medvec et al. 1993; Barakat et al. 1995; Kelso and Smith 1998).
List style
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work.
For examples go to: "Style of references" on the right-hand side.
For standardization of formats, authors are requested to adhere to the following: in Literature Cited, use of abbreviations of journals contained in B-P-H (G H. M. Lawrence, A. F. G. Buchheim, G. S. Daniels and H. Dolezal, eds., 1968, Botanico-Periodicum-Huntianum, Hunt Botanical Library, Pittsburgh), including Supplementum; (G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith, eds., 1991, B-P-H/S, Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, Pittsburgh) Titles and standard abbreviations can be checked at http://www.ipni.org/

• Figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.
• For each figure, please supply a figure caption.
• Make sure to identify all elements found in the figure in the caption.
• Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the caption.
• For more information about preparing your illustrations, please follow the hyperlink to the artwork instructions on the right.
ESM
If Electronic supplementary material (ESM) is submitted, it will be published as received from the author in the online version only.
ESM may consist of
• information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings
• information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.
• large original data, e.g. additional tables, illustrations, etc.
• If supplying any ESM, the text must make specific mention of the material as a citation, similar to that of figures and tables (e.g., “. . . as shown in Animation 3.”).
• For details on formats and other information, please follow the hyperlink to the specific instructions for electronic supplementary material on the right.
Artwork and Illustrations Guidelines
Electronic Figure Submission
Supply all figures electronically.
Indicate what graphics program was used to create the artwork.
For vector graphics, the preferred format is EPS; for halftones, please use TIFF format. MSOffice files are also acceptable.
Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.
Name your figure files with "Fig" and the figure number, e.g., Fig1.eps.
Line Art
Definition: Black and white graphic with no shading.
Do not use faint lines and/or lettering and check that all lines and lettering within the figures are legible at final size.
All lines should be at least 0.1 mm (0.3 pt) wide.
Scanned line drawings and line drawings in bitmap format should have a minimum resolution of 1200 dpi.
Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.
Halftone Art
Definition: Photographs, drawings, or paintings with fine shading, etc.
If any magnification is used in the photographs, indicate this by using scale bars within the figures themselves.
Halftones should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
Combination Art
Definition: a combination of halftone and line art, e.g., halftones containing line drawing, extensive lettering, color diagrams, etc.
Combination artwork should have a minimum resolution of 600 dpi.
Color Art
Color art is free of charge for online publication.
If black and white will be shown in the print version, make sure that the main information will still be visible. Many colors are not distinguishable from one another when converted to black and white. A simple way to check this is to make a xerographic copy to see if the necessary distinctions between the different colors are still apparent.
If the figures will be printed in black and white, do not refer to color in the captions.
Color illustrations should be submitted as RGB (8 bits per channel).
Figure Lettering
To add lettering, it is best to use Helvetica or Arial (sans serif fonts).
Keep lettering consistently sized throughout your final-sized artwork, usually about 2–3 mm (8–12 pt).
Variance of type size within an illustration should be minimal, e.g., do not use 8-pt type on an axis and 20-pt type for the axis label.
Avoid effects such as shading, outline letters, etc.
Do not include titles or captions within your illustrations.
Figure Numbering
All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.
Figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.
Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.).
If an appendix appears in your article and it contains one or more figures, continue the consecutive numbering of the main text. Do not number the appendix figures,"A1, A2, A3, etc." Figures in online appendices [Supplementary Information (SI)] should, however, be numbered separately.
Figure Captions
Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts. Include the captions in the text file of the manuscript, not in the figure file.
Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type.
No punctuation is to be included after the number, nor is any punctuation to be placed at the end of the caption.
Identify all elements found in the figure in the figure caption; and use boxes, circles, etc., as coordinate points in graphs.
Identify previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference citation at the end of the figure caption.
Figure Placement and Size
Figures should be submitted separately from the text, if possible.
When preparing your figures, size figures to fit in the column width.
For large-sized journals the figures should be 84 mm (for double-column text areas), or 174 mm (for single-column text areas) wide and not higher than 234 mm.
For small-sized journals, the figures should be 119 mm wide and not higher than 195 mm.
Permissions
If you include figures that have already been published elsewhere, you must obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format. Please be aware that some publishers do not grant electronic rights for free and that Springer will not be able to refund any costs that may have occurred to receive these permissions. In such cases, material from other sources should be used.
Accessibility
In order to give people of all abilities and disabilities access to the content of your figures, please make sure that
All figures have descriptive captions (blind users could then use a text-to-speech software or a text-to-Braille hardware)
Patterns are used instead of or in addition to colors for conveying information (colorblind users would then be able to distinguish the visual elements)
Any figure lettering has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1
Supplementary Information (SI)
Springer accepts electronic multimedia files (animations, movies, audio, etc.) and other supplementary files to be published online along with an article or a book chapter. This feature can add dimension to the author's article, as certain information cannot be printed or is more convenient in electronic form.
Before submitting research datasets as Supplementary Information, authors should read the journal’s Research data policy. We encourage research data to be archived in data repositories wherever possible.
Submission
Supply all supplementary material in standard file formats.
Please include in each file the following information: article title, journal name, author names; affiliation and e-mail address of the corresponding author.
To accommodate user downloads, please keep in mind that larger-sized files may require very long download times and that some users may experience other problems during downloading.
Audio, Video, and Animations
Aspect ratio: 16:9 or 4:3
Maximum file size: 25 GB
Minimum video duration: 1 sec
Supported file formats: avi, wmv, mp4, mov, m2p, mp2, mpg, mpeg, flv, mxf, mts, m4v, 3gp
