International Journal of Ecology & Development
Scope & Guideline
Illuminating Pathways to Ecological Integrity and Growth
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Ecological Assessment and Monitoring:
The journal emphasizes research related to the assessment and monitoring of ecological systems, including studies on soil properties, water quality, and biodiversity. - Mathematical and Computational Modeling:
A significant focus is on the development and application of mathematical models to understand ecological dynamics, such as predator-prey interactions, disease spread, and environmental impacts. - Sustainable Development Practices:
The journal explores methodologies and frameworks for sustainable development, including agro-ecological practices, urban planning, and resource management. - Environmental Impact Studies:
Research assessing the impact of human activities on the environment, such as pollution studies and the effects of climate change, is a core area of interest. - Integration of Technology in Ecology:
The use of GIS and other technological approaches to enhance ecological research and management practices is a recurring theme in the journal.
Trending and Emerging
- Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation:
There is an increasing focus on research that addresses climate change impacts and strategies for adaptation and mitigation, reflecting the urgency of this global challenge. - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Ecology:
An emerging trend is the integration of various disciplines, such as economics, sociology, and technology, into ecological research, fostering comprehensive solutions to environmental issues. - Circular Economy and Resource Recovery:
The concept of circular economy, including recycling and resource recovery, is gaining traction, indicating a shift towards sustainable practices in waste and resource management. - Impact of COVID-19 on Ecological Dynamics:
The pandemic has sparked interest in understanding its ecological implications, including changes in species interactions and human-environment relationships. - Technological Innovations in Ecology:
Research incorporating advanced technologies like GIS, remote sensing, and data analytics is on the rise, highlighting the role of technology in enhancing ecological research and management.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Agricultural Practices:
Research focusing on conventional agricultural practices and their ecological impacts has decreased, possibly due to a growing emphasis on sustainable and innovative agricultural methods. - Single-Species Studies:
Studies that focus solely on single species without considering ecological interactions and systems are becoming less common, as there is a shift toward more integrative and holistic approaches. - Static Environmental Assessments:
There is a waning interest in static assessments of environmental conditions without a dynamic or temporal perspective, as researchers are increasingly focusing on changes over time and their implications. - Localized Case Studies:
While localized studies are still relevant, there is a noticeable decline in the prevalence of case studies that do not connect to broader ecological or developmental frameworks.
