In addition to ecological questions, the journal welcomes papers that ask ecological questions by linking natural and social processes at various spatio-temporal scales.
Ecological Complexity will publish research into the following areas:
• Ecosystems and the biosphere as complex adaptive systems
• Self-organization of spatially extended ecosystems
• Emergent properties and structures of complex ecosystems
• Ecological pattern formation in space and time
• The role of biophysical constraints and evolutionary attractors on species assemblages
• Ecological scaling (scale invariance, scale covariance and dynamics across scales), allometry, and hierarchy theory
• Ecological topology and networks
• Studies towards an ecology of complex systems
• Approaches to complex systems for the study of dynamic human-environment interactions
• Using knowledge of nonlinear phenomena to better guide policy development for adaptation strategies and mitigation to environmental change
• New tools and methods for studying ecological complexity
The papers that should appear in this journal are characterized by:
• Biocomplexity related to the environment and vice versa
• Inter disciplinarity (e.g. biology, ecology, environmental science, mathematics, modelling)
• Integration of natural and social processes (esp. over time)
