Journal Title：Ecological Complexity

Ecological Complexity is an international journal devoted to the publication of high quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of biocomplexity in the environment, theoretical ecology, and special issues on topics of current interest. The scope of the journal is wide and interdisciplinary with an integrated and quantitative approach. The journal particularly encourages submission of papers that integrate natural and social processes at appropriately broad spatio-temporal scales.

Ecological Complexity will publish research into the following areas:

? All aspects of biocomplexity in the environment and theoretical ecology

? Ecosystems and biospheres as complex adaptive systems

? Self-organization of spatially extended ecosystems

? Emergent properties and structures of complex ecosystems

? Ecological pattern formation in space and time

? The role of biophysical constraints and evolutionary attractors on species assemblages

? Ecological scaling (scale invariance, scale covariance and across scale dynamics), allometry, and hierarchy theory

? Ecological topology and networks

? Studies towards an ecology of complex systems

? Complex systems approaches for the study of dynamic human-environment interactions

? Using knowledge of nonlinear phenomena to better guide policy development for adaptation strategies and mitigation to environmental change

? New tools and methods for studying ecological complexity

? 生態(tài)系統(tǒng)和生物圈作為復(fù)雜的自適應(yīng)系統(tǒng)

? 空間擴(kuò)展生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的自組織

? 復(fù)雜生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的新興特性和結(jié)構(gòu)

? 空間和時(shí)間中的生態(tài)格局形成

? 生物物理約束和進(jìn)化吸引子對(duì)物種群落的作用

? 生態(tài)尺度（尺度不變性、尺度協(xié)方差和跨尺度動(dòng)態(tài)）、異速生長(zhǎng)和層次理論

? 生態(tài)拓?fù)浜途W(wǎng)絡(luò)

? 復(fù)雜系統(tǒng)生態(tài)學(xué)研究

? 研究動(dòng)態(tài)的復(fù)雜系統(tǒng)方法人與環(huán)境的相互作用

Ecological Complexity創(chuàng)刊于2004年，由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環(huán)境科學(xué) - 生態(tài)學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過(guò)審相對(duì)來(lái)講不是特別難，但是該刊專(zhuān)業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 24周，或約稿 約18.4周，影響因子指數(shù)3.1，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
