Ecological Complexity is an international journal devoted to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed articles on the complex nature of ecological systems, observed and theoretical and special issues on related and emerging topics. 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)
