ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING

Ecological Engineering has an open access mirror journal Ecological Engineering: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.Ecological engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. The journal is meant for ecologists who, because of their research interests or occupation, are involved in designing, monitoring, or restoring ecosystems, and can serve as a bridge between ecologists and engineers.Specific topics covered in the journal include: habitat reconstruction; ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; restoration ecology; ecology conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering are acceptable only when situated within context of adding novelty to current research and emphasizing ecosystem restoration. We do not accept purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structures (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessment of materials that can be used for ecological restoration, small-model studies carried out in the laboratory or greenhouse with artificial (waste)water or crop studies, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not offer an ecosystem restoration approach within the paper.The journal welcomes full papers, short communications, reviews, and letters to the editor. We are pleased to publish papers from multidisciplinary approaches that are pertinent to a wide range of scholars, managers, practitioners, and policymakers across ecological sciences.All papers will be subject to peer review and they will be dealt with as speedily as is compatible with a high standard of presentation.

《生态工程》拥有开放获取的镜像期刊《生态工程:X》，目标和范围相同，编辑团队、投稿系统和严格的同行评审。生态工程被定义为为了人类和自然的共同利益而设计的生态系统。该杂志是为生态学家而设，因为他们的研究兴趣或职业，参与设计、监测或恢复生态系统，并可以作为生态学家和工程师之间的桥梁。该杂志涵盖的具体主题包括:生境重建;生态技术;合成生态;生物工程;恢复生态学;生态保护;生态系统恢复;河流修复;复垦生态;保护不可再生资源。只有在为当前的研究增加新颖性和强调生态系统恢复的背景下，才可以接受对生态工程具体应用的描述。我们不接受纯粹的描述性报告生态系统结构(如植被调查),纯粹的物理评估材料,可用于生态修复、小模型研究在实验室进行或与人工温室(浪费)水或作物研究或案例研究传统废水处理和富营养化,不提供一个生态系统恢复方法在纸上。杂志欢迎全文、简短的交流、评论和给编辑的信件。我们很高兴发表来自多学科方法的论文，这些论文涉及生态科学领域的广泛学者、管理者、实践者和决策者。所有的论文都将接受同行评审，并将在符合高标准的情况下尽快处理。
