Journal of Vegetation Science

Each year, the Chief Editors make an Award to an outstanding paper. As they put it: ' Occasionally ... we see a paper that is ground-breaking, that introduces a new approach, that debunks an old myth, or that just does everything very well.' They further wrote: 'The choice of paper will sometimes be difficult. We shall hope we do not offend those who wrote excellent papers that did not catch our eye. The intention is to give one example of the kinds of paper that the Editors especially welcome.

The recipient of the 2011 Journal of Vegetation Science Editors' Award is Susanne Wurst for the paper 'Independent effects of arbuscular mycorrhiza and earthworms on plant diversity and newcomer plant establishment'.
