Dendrobiology (formerly: Arboretum Kórnickie) is a semiannual open access journal that publishes peer-reviewed scientific articles related to the biology and ecology of trees and shrubs to enhance our understanding of functioning of woody plants in various ecosystems. Dendrobiology promotes research across the fields of anatomy, biochemistry, ecophysiology, ecology, molecular biology, morphology, physiology, reproduction or systematics. Potential suitable manuscripts can cover (but are not limited to) the following aspects:

• woody plants taxonomy and systematics, biogeography and population genetics,
• community ecology of woody plants and dependent communities (e.g. epiphytes, understory vegetation or fungal assemblages),
• functional ecology of woody plants,
• impacts of environmental factors on trees and shrubs, including environmental stress, e.g. heavy metals, drought, frost or nutrient shortage,
• invasion ecology of trees and their assembled organisms,
• molecular biology of woody plants, including genomics, metabolomics, or proteomics,
• interactions of woody plants with symbiotic and pathogenic fungi, insects, birds, mammals, or other organisms,
• reproduction of woody plants (fruit production, pollination, seed storage, germination, seedling growth),
• silviculture, forestry and forest ecology,
• trees and shrubs phenology and their responses to climate change,
• and other related to trees and shrubs functioning in various environments.

Dendrobiology welcomes original research articles and reviews that summarize advances in topical areas. We are also interested in mini-review methods papers showing ‘behind the scenes’ methodology of tree and shrub studies, potential biases, and practice remarks useful in studies on woody plants.
