Botanica Marina

The journal publishes contributions from all of the disciplines of marine
botany at all levels of biological organisation from subcellular to ecosystem. Subject areas are: systematics, fl oristics, biogeography and ecology,
physiology and biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and chemistry of
all marine microorganisms (algae, fungi and bacteria), seaweeds, seagrasses and mangroves. Original knowledge is disseminated to provide synopses
of global or interdisciplinary interest, and to stress aspects of utilisation.
Applied science papers are especially welcome, when they illustrate the
application of emerging conceptual issues or promote developing technologies.
Assignments of chemical structures based only on comparisons of mass
spectra with library data cannot be accepted.
Checklists or equivalent manuscripts may be considered for publication
only if they contribute new information on taxonomy (e.g., new combinations), ecology or biogeography of more than just local relevance. Checklists should be focused to highlight original information.
