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
The papers that should appear in this journal are characterized by:
•
Biocomplexity related to the environment and vice versa
• Inter disciplinarity (e.g. biology, ecology, environmental science,
mathematics, modelling)
• Integration of natural and social processes (esp. over time)
