COMMUNITY ECOLOGY

COMMUNITY ECOLOGY was launched in 2000 following the merger of two well-established ecological periodicals, Coenoses and Abstracta Botanica in an effort to create a common global forum for community ecologists. See the contents of its first eight volumes (2000 - 2007). The scope of the journal includes, but is not restricted to, the following subject areas: Community-based ecological theory.Modelling of ecological communities.Community-based ecophysiology.Temporal dynamics, including succession.Trophic interactions, including food webs and competition.Spatial pattern analysis, including scaling issues.Community patterns of species richness and diversity.Sampling ecological communities.Data analysis methods, including multivariate analysis and geostatistics.Experimentally-based field studies of plant, animal and/or microbial communities, in terrestrial, marine or freshwater systems, are welcome. Purely descriptive studies will not normally be accepted for publication.

《群落生态学》于2000年创刊，是由两家著名的生态学期刊《群落学》和《植物文摘》合并而成，旨在为群落生态学家创建一个共同的全球论坛。参阅前八卷(2000 - 2007)的内容。该期刊的范围包括但不限于以下主题领域:以社区为基础的生态理论。生态群落建模。以社区为基础的生态生理学。时间动态，包括演替。营养相互作用，包括食物网和竞争。空间模式分析，包括缩放问题。物种丰富和多样性的群落模式。抽样的生态社区。数据分析方法，包括多元分析和地质统计学。欢迎在陆地、海洋或淡水系统中对植物、动物和/或微生物群落进行基于实验的实地研究。纯描述性研究一般不接受发表。
