We are pleased to announce launching of digital repository of the Polish Botanical Society.
The service is available at https://pbsociety.org.pl/repository/
Repository is a database of documents related to the history of the Society and its ongoing initiatives. It will gather official publications and so-far unpublished materials, which constitute documentation of the Society’s scientific, popularizing, and organizational activities.
Submission deadline to the “Biostimulation and biofortification of crop plants” issue to be published in the Acta Agrobotanica journal in June 2019 has been prolonged to December 31, 2018.
On behalf of the organizers, we invite you to take part in the conference entitled “Forest at risk: Białowieża and beyond”. The Conference will be held on February 12–15, 2019 at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Warsaw, followed by a field session in the Białowieża Forest (February 14–15, 2019). Detailed information can be found:
Submission deadline to the “Polar terrestrial ecosystems: ecology, evolution, and biogeography” issue to be published in the Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae journal at the end of this year has been prolonged to August 15, 2018.
German Academic Exchange Service (Deuscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) is inviting applicants for its Master’s Scholarships.
These scholarships are available for Master courses at a German institution of higher education. The application period at all 8 universities lasts from June 1st – July 31st, each year.
Applicants can get more information through the given link: DAAD Helmut-Schmidt-Master Scholarship Programme
Submission deadline prolnged: see this post.
Insufficient crop production and poor nutritional value of crops have become a vital global concern, affecting billions of people especially but not exclusively in developing world. To combat the problem of deficiencies of various essential nutrients in human diet and to enhance sustainable crop production, biofortification and biostimulation of crop plants emerge as complementary health-beneficial and cost-effective approaches. Use of biostimulants and trace elements enhances the growth and yield of plants as well protects them from various environmental stresses.
In order to address the challenges and opportunities of crop yield and quality improvement, we are pleased to inform that Acta Agrobotanica is going to launch an issue entitled “Biostimulation and biofortification of crop plants”, which will be published in June 2019. Our mission is to present for broader audience advances in physiological, biochemical, and molecular approaches as well as innovative crop management practices used to enhance healthy food production.
We sincerely invite you to submit or recommend a paper to our special issue. We cordially invite contributions (original articles, review articles, and short communications) focused on biostimulation and biofortification of crops including, but not limited to, the following areas:
The manuscript due date is October 30, 2018. Original research papers, reviews as well as short communications are eagerly invited.
On the Acta Agrobotanica home page you will find a section for manuscripts to be submitted for the issue “Biostimulation and biofortification of crop plants”.
The Guest Editor of the issue is:
Professor Mirza Hasanuzzaman, PhD

Dear authors,
manuscripts accepted for publication in the 2018 volumes of the journals Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae (issues 2–4), Acta Agrobotanica (1–4), Acta Mycologica (1–2), will have English language correction covered by the basic publication fee (fees are available on the “About” pages of individual journals on the Polish Botanical Society Journals editorial system). We encourage authors to submit their manuscripts to our journals!
Polar regions and their extreme environment have deeply fascinated naturalists for centuries. Surrounding the two poles of the globe, the Arctic and the Antarctic share many features and at the same time have a contrasting biogeographical constitution. Contemporary biological research ongoing in these unique areas covers a wide range of topics such as biodiversity patterns, biogeographical dynamics, persistence and dispersal capacities of organisms, evolutionary adaptations to extreme habitats. All these aspects become especially pertinent in the context of fragile polar ecosystems’ resilience to climate change.
The polar research is marked in 2017 by two important anniversaries: 60th Anniversary of the Polish Polar Station in Hornsund, Svalbard, Arctic and 40th Anniversary of the Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station, South Shetland Islands. As meaningful landmarks in the Polish Arctic and Antarctic studies, they provide an excellent motive to launch a special issue of the Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae focused on accomplishments, advances and perspectives in biological exploration of cold ecosystems. Therefore, we cordially invite contributions (original articles, review articles, and short communications) focused on polar biology studies including, but not limited to, the following areas:

At the beginning of the year we have provided all archival issues of the Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, Acta Agrobotanica and Monographiae Botanicae. They are available at https://pbsociety.org.pl/journals/. Their digitization and online publication have been financially supported by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
We are pleased to announce that the series Monographiae Botanicae successfully passed the evaluation process in Scopus and has just been included into this database. This is the fourth PBS serial publication in Scopus.
