Use when targeting New Phytologist or deciding whether a plant-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the integrative conceptual-advance and whole-plant/ecosystem-scale bar, evidence and data-deposition expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# New Phytologist (new-phytologist)
## Journal positioning
New Phytologist, published by the New Phytologist Foundation, is a plant-science journal
with a long-standing strength in **plant ecology, physiology, environmental interactions,
and symbiosis** — mycorrhizal and other plant–microbe relationships, whole-plant function,
and processes that scale from organism to community and ecosystem. Its defining expectation
is a **conceptual advance with integrative breadth**: a study that changes how a process is
understood by connecting levels of organization, rather than a tightly bounded mechanistic
result. A study whose contribution is a single gene-to-function molecular mechanism with no
physiological, ecological, or whole-organism reach usually fits a cellular/molecular journal
better. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the
journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live New Phytologist
