I was deeply saddened today to learn of the passing of Steve Long. He was a pioneer and an inspiration to so many of us. Find his obituary here: www.renner-wikoffchapel.com/obituary/Ste...

We mourn the passing of our Editor-in-Chief Steve Long. His vision to establish one of the first journals dedicated to Global Change over 30 years ago was truly ahead of its time. Through GCB, researchers have demonstrated that biology and ecosystems are not simply victims of global change..

We mourn the passing of our Editor-in-Chief Steve Long. Steve was a pivotal figure in plant research. He developed in silico Plants to provide a single point of focus for plant modelling to facilitate collaboration across disciplines and advance research and education in plant sciences...
