Encore Ecology is dedicated to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research that advances understanding in the field of ecology and environmental science. As part of the Encore Journal Network, we strive to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and provide a platform for innovative research that addresses the complex challenges facing ecosystems and biodiversity around the world.
Our Aims & Scope are to:
Publish Leading Research: Showcase groundbreaking ecological studies that contribute to our understanding of ecosystems, biodiversity, and environmental management.
Foster Interdisciplinary Research: Facilitate collaboration across disciplines such as ecology, biology, climate science, and environmental policy, recognizing the interconnectedness of these fields in tackling global environmental issues.
Support Sustainable Solutions: Focus on research that provides actionable insights for conservation, sustainable resource management, and ecosystem restoration.
Promote Global Collaboration: Encourage contributions from ecologists, environmental scientists, policymakers, and other stakeholders worldwide to develop solutions for ecological sustainability.
Key Areas of Focus:
We welcome research articles that span a broad range of topics within ecology and environmental science, including but not limited to:
Ecosystem Ecology: Studies on ecosystem structure, function, energy flow, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem services.
Biodiversity and Conservation: Research aimed at understanding biodiversity patterns, conservation strategies, and the impacts of human activities on species and habitats.
Climate Change Ecology: Investigating the effects of climate change on ecosystems, species distributions, and the resilience of ecosystems to environmental stressors.
Restoration Ecology: Exploring methods and strategies for restoring degraded ecosystems and rebuilding biodiversity, with a focus on the application of ecological knowledge to real-world conservation efforts.
Landscape Ecology: Studies on the relationship between spatial patterns and ecological processes, including habitat fragmentation, land-use change, and ecological connectivity.
Human-Ecology Interaction: Research into the relationship between human societies and ecosystems, including urban ecology, environmental health, and social-ecological systems.
Conservation Biology: Contributions related to conservation strategies, wildlife management, and biodiversity preservation across different ecosystems.
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment: Techniques and methodologies for monitoring environmental health and assessing ecological risks and impacts.
Complementary Focus with the Encore Journal Network:
