Jochen Heinrichs: March 14, 1969–April 22, 2018

Celebrating Research Devoted to Seed‐Free Land Plants

“…This special issue celebrates the unique diversity of seed‐free land plants (SFLP) and in particular the contribution of Jochen Heinrichs (1969–2018), who dedicated his research to the study of the evolution and taxonomy of these plants (Krings et al, ). Given the remarkable diversity of flowering plants, exceeding more than 350 000 extant species, SFLP tend to be often ignored despite their long successful phylogenetic history and their important contribution to terrestrial environments.…”
