One Ecosystem
Scope & Guideline
Advancing ecological understanding through interdisciplinary research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Ecosystem Services Assessment:
A core focus on evaluating ecosystem services, including their valuation, mapping, and temporal analysis, to inform policy and management practices. - Interdisciplinary Research:
Emphasizes the integration of ecological, economic, and social sciences to provide a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem dynamics and their implications for human well-being. - Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Linkage:
Research often explores the connections between ecosystem services and the SDGs, highlighting the role of ecosystems in achieving global sustainability targets. - Innovative Methodologies:
Utilizes advanced methodologies such as GIS, remote sensing, and Bayesian networks to enhance the assessment and management of ecosystem services. - Regional and Global Perspectives:
Includes studies from diverse geographical contexts, addressing both local and global ecosystem service issues, particularly in the context of climate change and urbanization.
Trending and Emerging
- Ecosystem Accounting and Valuation:
A significant increase in research related to ecosystem accounting frameworks, particularly the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA), highlighting the importance of quantifying ecosystem services for sustainable governance. - Urban Ecosystem Services:
Growing interest in studying ecosystem services within urban environments, focusing on how green infrastructure and urban planning can enhance ecological benefits and human well-being. - Climate Change Adaptation Strategies:
Emerging research on how ecosystem services can be leveraged for climate adaptation, addressing resilience building in urban and rural settings. - Cultural Ecosystem Services:
An increasing focus on the cultural dimensions of ecosystem services, exploring how human experiences and values related to nature contribute to ecosystem management and policy. - Interconnections Between Ecosystems and Human Health:
Research highlighting the links between ecosystem health and human health outcomes is trending, emphasizing the need for integrated approaches to public health and environmental management.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Biodiversity Studies:
Research focusing solely on biodiversity without explicit connections to ecosystem services is appearing less frequently, as the journal shifts towards integrated assessments that highlight ecosystem services. - Historical Ecological Studies:
Papers centered on purely historical ecological assessments are declining, reflecting a trend towards more applied research that addresses current ecosystem service challenges. - Single-Species Focus:
Research that examines individual species in isolation is becoming less common, as there is a growing emphasis on understanding ecosystems as interconnected systems rather than focusing on single entities. - Local Case Studies without Broader Implications:
Studies that do not connect local findings to broader ecological or policy implications are less frequently published, indicating a preference for research that contributes to global knowledge and practices.
