Journal of Environmental Sciences
Scope & Guideline
Connecting Scholars to Transform Environmental Practices
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Environmental Impact Assessment:
The journal focuses on assessing the impact of various human activities, including urbanization, agriculture, and industrial processes, on the environment. This includes studies on pollution, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem health. - Biodiversity and Conservation Biology:
Research published in the journal often emphasizes the importance of biodiversity conservation, exploring strategies for managing and protecting endangered species and habitats. - Ecological Restoration and Management:
The journal discusses methodologies for restoring degraded ecosystems and highlights case studies that demonstrate successful management practices across different environments. - Climate Change and Its Effects:
A core area of focus includes studying the effects of climate change on various ecosystems and species, providing insights into adaptation strategies and mitigation efforts. - Sustainable Practices and Policy Development:
The journal also contributes to the discourse on sustainable development practices and policies, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches to solve environmental issues.
Trending and Emerging
- Urbanization and Its Environmental Impact:
There is an increasing focus on how urbanization affects local ecosystems, thermal dynamics, and biodiversity, underscoring the need for sustainable urban planning. - Effects of Climate Change on Biodiversity:
Research is increasingly examining the ramifications of climate change on species distribution and ecosystem health, emphasizing the urgency of understanding these dynamics for conservation efforts. - Humanitarian and Legal Perspectives on Environmental Issues:
Emerging themes include the intersection of humanitarian law and environmental degradation, particularly in conflict zones, reflecting a growing recognition of the legal dimensions of ecological crises. - Invasive Species Management:
There is a rising concern regarding invasive species and their management, indicating a shift towards understanding and mitigating their impacts on native biodiversity. - Phytoremediation and Soil Health:
Research on the use of plants for the remediation of contaminated soils is gaining traction, highlighting innovative approaches to environmental restoration and sustainability.
Declining or Waning
- Forensic Ecology:
Research focusing on the application of ecological principles in forensic science has appeared less frequently. This may suggest that the integration of ecology in forensic contexts is becoming more specialized and thus less prevalent in general environmental science discussions. - Aquatic Ecosystem Studies:
Though important, studies specifically targeting aquatic ecosystems, particularly in freshwater contexts, appear to be declining. This could reflect a broader shift towards terrestrial and climate-related studies. - Soil Microbiology and Pathogen Studies:
There seems to be a waning interest in the specific interactions of soil microbiomes and pathogens, as fewer papers are dedicated to this niche area compared to previous years.
