应用植被科学关注与人类与植被相互作用相关的社区层面主题，包括全球变化、自然保护、自然管理、植物群落和自然栖息地的恢复、半自然和城市景观的规划。欢迎进行植被调查、建模和遥感应用。不符合这一范围的有关植物科学的论文(没有应用的方面，也不是植物调查)应提交给我们的联合期刊《植物科学杂志》。这两家期刊都发表了关于单一物种生态学的论文，前提是该物种在构建植物群落方面发挥了关键作用。

Applied Vegetation Science focuses on community-level topics relevant to human interaction with vegetation, including global change, nature conservation, nature management, restoration of plant communities and of natural habitats, and the planning of semi-natural and urban landscapes. Vegetation survey, modelling and remote-sensing applications are welcome. Papers on vegetation science which do not fit to this scope (do not have an applied aspect and are not vegetation survey) should be directed to our associate journal, the Journal of Vegetation Science. Both journals publish papers on the ecology of a single species only if it plays a key role in structuring plant communities.
