We are proud to introduce Current Research in Environmental Sustainability (CRSUST), a new primary research journal from Elsevier. CRSUST publishes original papers and short communications that cover all aspects of environmental sustainability. Current Research in Environmental Sustainability is a gold open access (OA) journal, which means articles are permanently and freely available. It is a companion to the highly regarded review journal Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability (COSUST) and is part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists' workflow. Current Research in Environmental Sustainability publishes new, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research on environmental sustainability. This includes focus on a broad range of topics from; the science of complex, self-organizing and adaptive systems to the sustainable management of natural resource systems (for example agriculture, water, biophysical habitats, soils, and climate) to the social conditions and relationships that support and maintain functioning ecosystems and enable human wellbeing. Environmental sustainability thus means understanding, maintaining, and regenerating natural capital, while achieving social and economic goals and values. Environmental sustainability occupies an increasingly important position on the corporate, NGO, and governmental and community agendas worldwide, we therefore request articles that are technically precise but written in a style that is accessible to informed, interested lay readers from diverse backgrounds. This focus on accessible arguments advances interdisciplinarity and explicitly allows for a flexible integration of natural sciences with the social sciences, humanities, and engineering disciplines and supports the evolving UN's sustainable development goals, enabling clear methodological, quantitative, and systemic reflections.

Earth History and Biodiversity

ISSN: 2950-4759

Earth History and Biodiversity is a full Open Access journal which publishes research results on the interplay between biodiversity and the evolution of the Earth's physical environment (atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere) with the aim of bridging the gap between geosciences and biology. Climate is a crucial driver of biological diversity, and its future development will lead to fundamental threats. But also other factors of the physical environment, including geophysics and earth surface dynamics, control or are eventually contingent on diversity in time and space. Understanding evolutionary patterns and processes, and the roots of modern biodiversity in dependence of long and short term environmental processes through the geological past will contribute to developing adequate mitigation and conservation strategies. The overarching aim of the journal is to publish original research papers, reports, review articles, perspectives, tutorial materials, and assays that cover the connections between geoenvironment and biodiversity. Topics may include but are not limited to: Past and present biodiversity patterns Impact of environmental changes on biodiversity Speciation, extinction and extirpation induced by geoenvironmental disruptions Routes and barriers of dispersal Ecological, palaeoecological and evolutionary patterns Ecosystem and biome destruction or resilience in different geoenvironments Modelling biodiversity geoenvironmental relationships Strategies of biodiversity conservation in different geoenvironments Educational material on the connections between geoenvironment and biodiversity

Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology

ISSN: 1642-3593
5 Year impact factor: 3
Impact factor: 2.6

The journal of the European Regional Centre for Ecohydrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology is an international journal that aims to advance ecohydrology as the study of the interplay between ecological and hydrological processes from molecular to river basin scales, and to promote its implementation as an integrative management tool to harmonize societal needs with biosphere potential. An essential component of ecohydrology is a rigorous understanding of hydrobiology, from ecosystem properties, dynamics and functions to modelling of abiotic and biotic interactions in relation to their hydrological determinants at the basin scale. The journal will publish high-quality science aimed at increasing the understanding of water–biota interplay and exploring how this knowledge can be used to regulate hydrological and biogeochemical processes to enhance the carrying capacity, especially of anthropogenically modified ecosystems. Research addressing one or several of the following issues will be of prime interest to the journal if it: Leads to new insights into the interactions of water, nutrient and pollutant cycles with biotic components of ecosystems; Employs this understanding for developing ecosystem biotechnologies and system solutions; Identifies possibilities to integrate engineering infrastructure with ecohydrological biotechnologies into system solutions at the catchment scale; Translates transdisciplinary knowledge into decision-support tools; Targets biodiversity, quality and quantity of water resources, ecosystem processes and functioning (including environmental flows), ecosystem services and/or ecosystem resilience as necessary components for enhanced carrying capacity; Is policy-oriented and, within the scope of the journal, addresses the priorities and objectives of international initiatives such as the Millennium Development Goals and UNESCO's International Hydrological Programme. This peer-reviewed journal publishes original research articles, reviews and short communications. The Editors of Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology welcome proposals for special issues on topics that fall within the scope of the journal.

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.
