- Abstract
The annual Editorial of Phytocoenologia 2018 reflects on the topical coverage of the journal in the years 2015-2017. All continents except Antarctica were present, but contributions from Europe and Asia dominated, South America and Africa were moderately represented and North America and Australia underrepresented. In terms of vegetation types temperate grasslands and forests were the most frequent study subjects, while aquatic and weed communities were hardly addressed at all. We highlight the classification of the petrifying springs in Ireland (Lyons & Kelly 2017, Phytocoenologia 47: 13-32) as a prototypic study we would like to be published in the journal and thus acknowledge the authors with the Editors' Award 2017. Also the two permanent sections, Ecoinformatics (with Long and Short Database Reports) as well as Phytosociological Nomenclature (with nomenclatural proposals and nomenclatural revisions) are important and much used parts of Phytocoenologia.
