Relevance to Journal’s Scope:

The aim of the current study is to investigate the biodiversity of waterlogged forest ecosystems in sub-equatorial climatic zone so as to see the environmental effects on biodiversity in those ecosystems. The sampling plots were distributed to three locations one in South America, one in North Africa and one in sub-tropical India. The data collection has been done for a 5 year period from the recent anthropological influence has been transferred over those ecosystems and until the agricultural activities has been ceased. The results obtained from this study is highly interpretable and comparable for the journals distribution scientists and regions.

With our best regards.

Perceiving wetlands in terms of ecosystem diversity

Abstract

Abstract should not be over 300 words. No reference is suggested in abstract. Abstract should reflect the aim of the manuscript, give short and preliminary methodical applications. The most striking results should be presented in abstract within the reasons. The conclusion and suggestions might be given at the end of abstract.

Keywords:Wetland, freshwater ecosystems, diversity, plant ecology.

Introduction

Introduction section the main points of the study should be indicated and the motivation reasons for editing the article should be strengthened with the references (Couteaux et al. 2002).
