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 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 ScienceApplied 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). This paper well idealise the ‘niche’ of Applied Vegetation Science, i.e. the application theory and empirical knowledge of vegetation science for specific applications. Another thirteen papers published in 2009 have already been downloaded more than 100 times in 2009, confirming the high attention that vegetation scientists are dedicating to Applied Vegetation Science. The online system provided by Wiley-Blackwell for journal management is allowing Applied Vegetation Science to increase the speed of paper management, including all phases from submission to production. Number of submissions is ca. 180 papers each year and acceptance rate is ca. 25%. This means that we can publish only a fraction of good papers. In 2009, almost 200 researchers were involved as reviewers for the journal (see App. 1) and we express our gratitude to all of them. management, including all phases from submission to production.

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). This paper well idealise the ‘niche’ of Applied Vegetation Science, i.e. the application theory and empirical knowledge of vegetation science for specific applications.
