Earth Critical Zone

ISSN: 2950-4767

Earth Critical Zone (ECZ) is a journal dedicated to publishing research and review papers that delve into the dynamic interactions between rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms which collectively shape the Earth's surface. This journal addresses the pressing challenges of our time, including food security, environmental pollution, ecological degradation, climate change, and the quest for sustainable development. It recognizes the necessity of integrated efforts from a diverse array of disciplines from natural sciences but also contributions from social scientists and engineers. ECZ is committed to advancing novel research in a range of fields including soil science, biology, hydrology, environmental science, ecology, and socioeconomics. Its primary goals are twofold: firstly, to enhance our fundamental understanding of the processes affecting life in the critical zone, extending from the tips of the trees to the bedrock, and their interactions with various environmental processes; and secondly, to pinpoint practices and policies that preserve the health and functionality of Earth's critical zone. The main research areas covered by the journal include but are not limited to: Soil Health Plant Nutrient Cycling Hydrology Environmental Protection Ecology Socioeconomics Through its publications, ECZ aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of the critical zone and contribute to the development of strategies that ensure the long-term health and well-being of our planet.

Ecological Complexity

5 Year impact factor: 2.9
Impact factor: 3.5

An International Journal on Biocomplexity in the Environment and Theoretical Ecology 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)

Ecological Economics

ISSN: 0921-8009
5 Year impact factor: 7.5
Impact factor: 7

The Transdisciplinary Journal of the International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE) The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between "nature's household" (ecosystems) and "humanity's household" (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership. Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics. Ecological Economics Sections All submissions to Ecological Economics are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, creativity, originality, accuracy, and contribution to the field.

Ecological Engineering

ISSN: 0925-8574
5 Year impact factor: 4.3
Impact factor: 3.8

The Journal of Ecosystem Restoration Ecological engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. The journal is for those involved in designing, monitoring, or restoring ecosystems, and serves as a bridge between the fields of ecology and engineering Specific topics covered in the journal include: habitat reconstruction; ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; restoration ecology; ecology conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering are acceptable only when situated within context of adding novelty to current research and emphasizing ecosystem restoration. We do not accept purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structures (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessment of materials that can be used for ecological restoration, small-model studies carried out in the laboratory or greenhouse with artificial (waste)water or crop studies, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not offer an ecosystem restoration approach within the paper. The journal welcomes full papers, short communications, reviews, and letters to the editor. We are pleased to publish papers from multidisciplinary approaches that are pertinent to a wide range of scholars, managers, practitioners, and policymakers across ecological sciences. All papers will be subject to peer review and they will be dealt with as speedily as is compatible with a high standard of presentation.
