About the Journal
Aims and Scope
This peer-reviewed journal publishes original research results in environmental, ecological and climate science, with focus on sustainable management of natural, human-dominated, and man-made ecosystems through appropriate resource use, quality assessment and recovery, as well as on climate change impact assessment, adaptation and mitigation. The aim of the journal is to provide a place for deep exchange of new ideas and concepts in climate and environmental accounting, management and policy making, as well as human and systems ecology and nonlinear dynamics of complex socio-natural systems.
Manuscripts on climate and environmental accounting and management are solicited, including mathematical modeling and quantitative methods; computational and management techniques in climate, environmental, ecological, energy and information science; environmental technology and engineering; and human-managed ecosystems such as agricultural, urban, coastal, riparian, and wetland ecosystems.
Topics of Interest
- Climate, environmental, ecological and resource economics; environmental accounting, including life cycle assessment, emergy, footprints, emissions inventory, environmental impact assessment, ecosystem services and natural capital assessment, energy and resource use, social factors and impacts, and circular economy
- Modeling in environmental conservation and restoration, eco-hydrology and water resources management, ecological processes and patterns, climate change effects, environmental engineering and technology, integrated assessment modelling, land-use modelling with climate and environmental applications, and Earth system modelling
- Nonlinear dynamics of complex socio-natural systems and inter- and transdisciplinary modelling methods and tools
- Co-production of models with stakeholders and participatory modelling
- Quantitative methods and data analysis for climate and environmental decision-making, including big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, geoinformation systems, and decision-support tools
- Planning and management in human dimensions, institutions and patterns for socio-economic systems, industrial ecology, ecological informatics, landscape design, and urban metabolism and planning
- Green engineering, green design, green manufacturing, green materials, and experimental sustainability
- Climate and environmental policy, legislation, innovations, strategic impact assessment, project appraisal and auditing, and environmental protection
- Impact assessment of climate change, climate adaptation and mitigation, and climate services
No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written manuscripts are considered for publication. Brief papers can be published on the basis of technical notes. Discussions of previously published papers are welcome.
