W.S. Cooper Award
The W. S. Cooper Award is given to honor an outstanding contribution in geobotany, physiographic botany, plant succession or the distribution of organisms along environmental gradients.
The award is for a single contribution in a scientific publication (book, chapter, scientific or technical journal article), not for an individual’s collected works or career. The contribution should be recent, which is interpreted to be approximately in the last five years.
Nominations for this award should include a letter of nomination with full citation, an electronic copy of the publication, one required letter of support, and no more than two additional letters of support. The letter of nomination and letters of support should be no longer than two pages.
