Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climatic changes in the Pleistocene have been associated with spectacular range shifts and adaptive processes in plant populations. Expansion and fragmentation of species ranges, reshuffling of population structure, fluctuations of genetic diversity within populations, differentiation of ecotypes within species, and other signs of evolutionary processes have been revealed in multiple plant species. Main bulk of studies in this research area originated so far from New World and Western Eurasia. However, the contemporary evolutionary processes in the flora of Central, Eastern and Northern Eurasia are currently understudied. Unlike the other continental regions in the Northern Hemisphere, localization of the main glacial refugia and recolonization routes for particular groups of plant species with specific ecological adaptations in these regions has not been clarified. The suggested special issue should help to cover this gap in our knowledge of evolutionary processes in the Pleistocene in different parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
