Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Nativa' is dedicated to advancing knowledge in the fields of environmental science, agriculture, and biodiversity. It serves as a platform for researchers to disseminate their findings on ecological dynamics, sustainable practices, and the management of natural resources.
  1. Biodiversity and Conservation:
    Research focused on the conservation of biodiversity, including studies on flora and fauna, habitat restoration, and the impacts of human activities on ecosystems.
  2. Agricultural Science and Practices:
    Explorations of agricultural methods, crop management, and the effects of environmental factors on plant species, emphasizing sustainable agricultural practices.
  3. Environmental Monitoring and Management:
    Studies involving environmental assessments, climate change impacts, land use changes, and the management of natural resources to mitigate ecological degradation.
  4. Biotechnology and Plant Physiology:
    Investigations into plant biology, including genetic studies, biotechnological applications for crop improvement, and physiological responses of plants to various stressors.
  5. Ecological Economics and Policy:
    Analysis of the economic aspects of environmental conservation, agricultural policies, and the socio-economic impacts of agricultural practices on communities.
Recent publications in 'Nativa' have highlighted emerging themes that reflect current global challenges and advancements in research methodologies.
  1. Climate Change and Agricultural Resilience:
    A growing focus on the impacts of climate change on agricultural systems and the development of resilient practices to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
  2. Agroecology and Sustainable Practices:
    Increased attention to agroecological practices that promote sustainability, biodiversity, and ecological balance in agricultural systems.
  3. Technological Innovations in Agriculture:
    Emerging themes include the use of technology such as IoT, remote sensing, and precision agriculture to improve farming efficiency and environmental monitoring.
  4. Microbial Interactions in Soil Health:
    Research on the role of microbial communities in soil health and plant growth is gaining traction, emphasizing the importance of soil biology in sustainable agriculture.
  5. Restoration Ecology:
    An uptick in studies focused on ecological restoration efforts, examining methods to rehabilitate degraded ecosystems and enhance biodiversity.

Declining or Waning

As the journal 'Nativa' evolves, certain themes have shown a decline in frequency, reflecting shifts in research priorities and methodologies within the scientific community.
  1. Traditional Pest Management Practices:
    Research focusing on conventional methods of pest control is less prevalent, possibly due to a growing emphasis on integrated pest management and sustainable practices.
  2. Invasive Species Studies:
    While previously a significant area of focus, studies specifically targeting invasive species have decreased, potentially due to the broadening scope of ecological research.
  3. Soil Chemistry and Fertility:
    Investigations centered solely on soil chemistry have waned, as the journal increasingly highlights broader ecological interactions and sustainable farming practices.
  4. Drought Resistance in Non-Crop Species:
    Research on drought resistance in non-crop species has seen a decrease, possibly due to the growing focus on crop-related studies and agricultural resilience.
  5. Historical Ecology Studies:
    Research examining historical ecological conditions and changes has become less prominent, as current environmental challenges and solutions take precedence.
