British Ecological Society Journals

Journal of Ecology is delighted to honour Bernhard Schmid in our continuing Eminent Ecologist series. Here our Executive Editor, David Gibson, interviews Bernhard about his ecological career and his groundbreaking research across several areas of plant ecology. This includes the population ecology of clonal plants, mechanisms of competition, community assembly, and more recently on biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships. In honour of this award, Bernhard has curated a collection of published papers - which are freely available to read in this Eminent Ecologist Virtual Issue: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1111/(ISSN)1365-2745.Bernhard-Schmid-2020
