Journal of Ecology and Environment

Aims & Scope

Journal of Ecology and Environment is an open access and online journal dedicated to sharing outcomes of basic ecological research, and implications or applications based on ecological research.

The journal mainly focuses on basic ecological research on terrestrial and aquatic populations, communities, ecosystems and landscapes.

Also, its scope includes applied issues such as biodiversity loss and climate change based on ecological research.

We are committed to represent ecological research from under-represented regions such as Eurasian ecosystems, especially Northeast Asian ecosystems.

Journal of Ecology and Environment strives for prompt dissemination of research outcomes and their implications to readers, through continuous online publication and an open access policy.
