Abstract Achievement of the best balance between the accuracy and efficiency is always an important issue when searching a tree space of large data sets. In the 5th issue in 2009, Rodrigo et al used bootstrapped topologies as fixed genealogies to distribute an MCMC analysis across a cluster of computers, resulting in an efficiency yielding results 37 times faster than in the standard MCMC methods. Tree searches can seldom be guided with certainty, so that such snapshots sampling partial but “more-likely” tree space facilitated by parallel programs on computer clusters may provide great promise among a few choices that are computationally affordable when tree space is large and complicated.

As an open access journal with an international audience, Air, Soil and Water Research has a tremendous worldwide impact. Peer reviewing process is essential to maintain the high standard of quality of published papers, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my participation as a reviewer for Air, Soil and Water Research. The online review system is very easy and simply to use. I am looking forward to peer reviewing additional articles in the future.Dr Dionisis Gasparatos (Agricultural University of Athens, Athens, Greece) What our authors say
