[Taxacom] Open access - Issue of international botanical journal dedicated to bryophytes

[Matt Von Konrat]

Dear all,

On behalf of my colleagues, we are pleased to announce the publication
of a special issue of the international plant taxonomy journal,
Phytotaxa, dedicated to bryophytes.

Significantly, all papers are free with open access at:

http://www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/content/2010/pt00009.htm

We hope in the Year of Biodiversity, this issue will help stimulate
further research and foster more students to study and enjoy these
wonderful plants!  Also, the broad scope of papers will draw wide
appeal and interest beyond the study of bryophytes, and highlight the
significance of this group of organisms.

We graciously thank Maarten Christenhusz (Chief Editor) and Zhi-Qiang
Zhang (Founding Editor) for their tremendous support of the current
issue dedicated to bryology and for their guidance throughout the
editorial process. We express our gratitude to reviewers, all of whom
made valuable contributions and suggestions, and finally to the
Phytotaxa editorial/production team and Magnolia Press.

Below is a table of contents of the papers.

On behalf of co-editors Jon Shaw and Karen Renzaglia, as well as all
the authors.

My regards,

Matt
