Manetti C. Letter from the Former Editor-in-Chief

Abstract

Dear Colleagues, Passionate researchers.

in my, albeit brief, experience as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Annali di Botanica I wanted to make an active contribution to its development by trying to bring to light important elements that have characterized the journal from the beginning.
It should not surprise you that I am a physical chemist, because several characteristics of Annali di Botanica can
be traced back to the systemic vision that characterizes this discipline, which make it a reference not only for the study of
ecosystems, but also for issues relating to solutions “nature based”, widely cited in terms of conservation, planning
and restoration of territories in a sustainable way as also
underline by the strategies to reach different Sustainable
Goals of the UN Agenda 2030.
Thus, together with the Editorial Committee, I wanted to
give, already with the 2023 issue and now with this one
which collects the 2024 articles, a multi-dimensional vision
of this reality already “distilled” by the subtitle of the
magazine “Coenology and plant ecology”: defining “ new
trajectories” with respect to which to collect contributions
from the various authors
