[motti a unina.it]

Dear colleagues,
I recently accepted an invitation to serve as the Guest Editor for a  
Special Issue of the journal Plants on the subject of " The Role of  
Plants in the Biodeterioration of Buildings". Based on your expertise  
in this field, I would like to invite you to contribute a review or  
full research paper for peer-review and possible publication in this  
Special Issue.
In this Special Issue we call for contributions that address the  
impact of plants? colonization of stone monuments, focusing on the  
role of plants and their consequent damages. Research papers based on,  
but not limited to, deterioration by lichens, algae, mosses, and  
vascular flora, the effect of stone construction materials, the effect  
of microclimates, and management are encouraged to be submitted to  
this Special Issue.
Although the deadline for submission of manuscripts to this Special  
Issue is 17 March 2023, I would appreciate hearing from you in the  
next few weeks as to whether you are interested in submitting a paper  
in order to help with the planning.

Best regards
Prof. Riccardo Motti
Guest Editor
