Botany360 is a community event calendar that highlights events happening during the 360 days outside of the Botany Conferences. The goal of this program is to connect the plant science community throughout the year with professional development, discussion sessions, and networking and social opportunities. Recordings to some events will be available on the Botany360 webpage.

AJB SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS
The role of plant-microbe interactions in plant community dynamics of tropical and subtropical ecosystems
Proposal Submission Deadline: Extended to July 1, 2023

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a special issue of the American Journal of Botany, “The role of plant-microbe interactions in plant community dynamics of tropical and subtropical ecosystems.” This special issue aims to fill in some of the gaps that limit our ability to draw general inferences about the implications of these interactions, especially to understand how microbial effects on plant community dynamics may vary with context and, by extension, respond to global environmental change. A goal is to spotlight research on plant-soil microbe interactions from tropical and subtropical ecosystems. Studies led by early-career researchers and researchers and institutions from the global south are especially encouraged.
