Journal for articles on plant diversity and floristics, plant ecology, and vegetation research in the Netherlands.
AboutGorteria
Gorteria - Dutch Botanical Archives (abbreviation: Gorteria) is published by the Dutch organisations Naturalis, FLORON, and the Royal Dutch Botanical Society (Koninklijke Nederlandse Botanische Vereniging, KNBV). Gorteria is a journal for research on the wild flora of the Netherlands and focuses on plant diversity, floristics, and the distribution and systematics of plant species occurring in the Netherlands. The journal encourages taxonomic treatments and articles on difficult plant complexes, especially if they include identification keys and/or clarify nomenclatural problems. In addition, much attention is given to remarkable finds, locations of rare species, ecological and geographic characteristics, and the floristic changes as consequences of human activities and global climate change. The focus of Gorteria is on the flora of the Netherlands, but the journal encourages all contributions that contribute to a better knowledge of the Dutch flora, even if Dutch species are not directly the subject of study.
Gorteria is an open access e-only journal under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND license. Gorteria articles are in Dutch or English and include abstracts in both languages.
