Resumen:
With this issue, Applied Vegetation Science is starting its thirteenth year of life. Under an anthropomorphic point of view, it is not anymore a child but a teenager. In reality, Applied Vegetation Science is now, together with its sister periodical Journal of Vegetation Science, a consolidated reference for the whole vegetation science community all over the world and the leader publication venue for applied uses and investigations on vegetation science, such as vegetation restoration, management and conservation. The inclusion of the journal in the Wiley- Blackwell package greatly enlarged the number of institutions that subscribes to Applied Vegetation Science and, consequently, the potential readership and authorship. In 2009, the number of downloaded papers was extremely high, exceeding ten thousand! The number of downloads was really exceptional for some papers, even for recent ones. One of the papers published in the last volume (Pickett et al. 2009) at the end of November 2009, so in the same year of publication, has already been downloaded 277 times. This paper showed that some of the Clements? insights about community-level processes are well recognized in the present theoretical and practical framework of vegetation science and that these concepts are used to address the role community-level processes for applied issues such as ecological restoration (Pickett et al. 2009).
