New Editor | Tao Deng, subject editor for Chinese vascular plants
NJB welcomes Tao Deng as a subject editor!
Professor Tao Deng is a new subject editor for Chinese vascular plants, with a focus on angiosperms from southwest China and the adjacent Pan-Third Pole regions.
Tao Deng is a researcher at the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. His work focuses on the systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of plants, with a particular emphasis on the flora of East Asia. He uses a variety of methods, from classical taxonomy and morphological study to DNA-sequence analysis, ecological niche modelling, and integration of fossil, historical-geography and climate-data, to unravel how plant lineages originated, diversified, and spread over time.
Among his interests are reconstructing evolutionary relationships, resolving taxonomical questions in challenging groups, examining trait evolution, and illuminating the historical and ecological mechanisms that shaped current plant-diversity patterns. His research has contributed to understanding not only species-level taxonomy and phylogeny but also large-scale patterns of plant diversity, distribution, and the biogeographic history of East-Asian flora.
Nordic Journal of Botany—who are we?
NORDIC JOURNAL OF BOTANY: An International Journal for Botany and Mycology is an Open Access journal owned by the Nordic Society Oikos.
We are an international journal publishing research on all aspects of plant and fungal ecology, evolution, conservation, biogeography, and taxonomy. We welcome cross-disciplinary research such as plant-pollinator interactions, human-plant relations, and plant-ecosystem connections. Our scope includes algae and bryophytes and all groups of fungi. We explore trending topics in plant sciences and publish research from both established experts and early-career researchers.
