Trending and Emerging
- Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience:
There is a notable increase in studies focusing on climate change adaptation strategies and resilience-building within communities, highlighting the urgency of addressing climate impacts. - Human-Wildlife Interaction:
Emerging themes explore the complexities of human-wildlife interactions, especially in urban environments, reflecting growing concerns over biodiversity and coexistence. - Sustainable Development Practices:
Research is increasingly oriented towards identifying and promoting sustainable development practices, particularly in urban and agricultural contexts. - Community-Based Resource Management:
A trend towards emphasizing community-based resource management approaches is evident, showcasing how local knowledge and practices can enhance environmental governance. - Technological Innovations for Sustainability:
There is a rising interest in examining technological solutions and innovations that support sustainable practices, particularly in energy and resource management.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Environmental Science:
There appears to be a decreasing focus on purely traditional environmental science topics, such as basic ecological studies, which are increasingly integrated into broader interdisciplinary approaches. - Single-Dimensional Policy Analysis:
Research focusing solely on single-dimensional policy analyses without considering broader social, economic, and environmental contexts is becoming less prevalent. - Static Case Studies:
There is a shift away from static case studies that do not incorporate dynamic changes over time or do not engage with ongoing developments in environmental management. - Narrow Geographic Focus:
Papers that concentrate on very specific geographic locations without broader implications or comparisons are seeing reduced representation, as the journal increasingly favors studies with wider relevance. - Limited Stakeholder Perspectives:
Research that fails to incorporate diverse stakeholder perspectives or community voices in environmental issues is becoming less common, as the journal emphasizes collaborative and inclusive approaches.
