Within the framework of the polar exploration for over more than a century, but especially during the last decades, Polish botanists have contributed considerably to the general knowledge on biodiversity, taxonomy, biogeography, and ecology of the Arctic and Antarctic flora, especially key groups for these biomes such as lichens and mosses. These long-term studies have resulted in a wealth of data including comprehensive regional accounts (e.g., [4,5,6,7]) and key syntheses, becoming benchmark references for global research, as best exemplified by the seminal The illustrated moss flora of Antarctica by R
The current issue is the fourth themed edition of Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae (ASBP), which is preceded by the special issues of the journal published in 2012, 2014 (83/4), and 2016 (85/4). It contains 14 articles, which provide a fair overview of botanical research carried out in the polar regions, aiming at better describing and understanding the biodiversity, ecology, and biogeography of these exceptional and fragile terrestrial environments
