Abstract
The research interests of John Albert Raven, who died on 23 May 2024 aged 82, extended in scale from plant cell biochemistry and physiology through whole-plant physiology and ecophysiology to plant ecology and evolution of aquatic and terrestrial plants and even astrobiology. He collected and collated an enormous amount of information for which he had a powerful memory. He collaborated widely with scientists world-wide and helped many researchers strengthen their careers. John Raven’s achievements deserve to be fondly remembered. The present contribution largely focuses on his early research career, during which he collaborated with the present author, and highlights later influential activities and contributions that relate to plant-soil interactions, and his unique personality as a researcher.
期刊介绍：
Plant and Soil publishes original papers and review articles exploring the interface of plant biology and soil sciences, and that enhance our mechanistic understanding of plant-soil interactions. We focus on the interface of plant biology and soil sciences, and seek those manuscripts with a strong mechanistic component which develop and test hypotheses aimed at understanding underlying mechanisms of plant-soil interactions. Manuscripts can include both fundamental and applied aspects of mineral nutrition, plant water relations, symbiotic and pathogenic plant-microbe interactions, root anatomy and morphology, soil biology, ecology, agrochemistry and agrophysics, as long as they are hypothesis-driven and enhance our mechanistic understanding. Articles including a major molecular or modelling component also fall within the scope of the journal. All contributions appear in the English language, with consistent spelling, using either American or British English.
