Subject: Journal of Ecology
Journal of Ecology
**ONLINE SUBMISSION AVAILABLE NOW**
The contents of the August and October issues are listed below. Four papers
in issue 4 (Falik et al., Cahill, Day et al. and van Wijk et al.) employ
advances in methodology and experimental approach, both in the glasshouse
and the field, to make important new contributions to our understanding of
plant interactions below ground. As an indication of the progress being
made in this area, Journal of Ecology hopes to publish an Essay Review on
root competition in 2004. Three papers in issue 4 (Lienert and Fischer,
Verheyen et al. and Ziegenhagen et al.) and one in issue 5 (Verheyen et
al.) illustrate different approaches but related responses to land-use
change. They suggest that land managers and conservationists should
redouble their efforts to ensure adequate colonization opportunities for
species whose range is disrupted due to land-use change, especially habitat
fragmentation. Issue 5 also includes a group of papers (Tuomisto et al.,
Phillips et al., Christie and Armesto and Pearson et al.) which address the
much debated question of what factors control the diversity and
distribution of plant species in rainforests. We envisage that topics
featured in Issue 6 will include facilitative effects in plant communities,
the effects of water supply on recruitment (and thus diversity), and the
application of palaeoecological techniques.

In order to streamline the review process further, Journal of Ecology has
implemented a fully web-based system for submission and review of
manuscripts.
Please see 'Author Guidelines' at
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/jec/ before proceeding to
http://britishecologicalsociety.manuscriptcentral.com/
Information on the journal is available from its homepages on the British
Ecological Society
(www.britishecologicalsociety.org/publications/journals/ecology) and
Blackwell Publishing (www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/jec/) websites.
The BES site describes the journal's editorial policy and procedures but,
before submitting a paper, authors should consult the most recent version
of the Author Guidelines on the Blackwell Publishing site. The BES site
should be consulted for the index to Biological Flora accounts and the
probable contents of forthcoming issues. A selection of recent papers is
available to download free of charge via either the BES^Ò or the Publishers^
websites, as is Supplementary material associated with published articles.
The latter was formerly known as the Journal of Ecology archive and, for
the most recent papers, can also be accessed directly using the URL given
in the printed version: readers having difficulty accessing a particular
entry should contact the editorial office.

86-present) and www.jstor.org (for the JSTOR journal archive, covering

isotopic techniques (C-14, C-13, N-15, O-18), organic matter characterizatio
(e.g., GC-MS, NMR, IR, UV), microbial ecological methods, and/or photochemic
l
techniques is strongly desirable. Applicants for the position should send
