JOURNAL OF FRESHWATER ECOLOGY

The Journal of Freshwater Ecology, published since 1981, is an open access peer-reviewed journal for the field of aquatic ecology of freshwater systems that is aimed at an international audience of researchers and professionals. Its coverage reflects the wide diversity of ecological subdisciplines and topics, including but not limited to physiological, population, community, and ecosystem ecology as well as biogeochemistry and ecohydrology of all types of freshwater systems including lentic, lotic, hyporheic and wetland systems. Studies that improve our understanding of anthropogenic impacts and changes to freshwater systems are also appropriate.The Journal publishes high-quality manuscripts that primarily describe manipulative experiments, field studies, and case studies with broad applicability. Innovative and widely applicable methodological and statistical papers also may be published. Manuscripts may take the form of original research, brief notes of significance, letters to the editor, or occasional invited review articles. Manuscripts that merely describe a community assemblage or a taxonomic group are not appropriate. Similarly laboratory-based toxicity trials that lack an ecological context are typically not accepted.

《淡水生态学杂志》自1981年出版以来，是一本面向国际研究人员和专业人士的淡水系统水生生态学领域的开放获取的同行评议期刊。它的覆盖范围反映了生态学科和主题的广泛多样性，包括但不限于生理、人口、社区和生态系统生态学，以及各种淡水系统的生物地球化学和生态水文学，包括死水系统、湖泊系统、低水系统和湿地系统。提高我们对人为影响和淡水系统变化的认识的研究也是适当的。该杂志出版高质量的手稿，主要描述操作实验，实地研究和广泛适用的案例研究。还可发表创新性和广泛适用的方法和统计论文。手稿的形式可以是原始研究，重要的简要说明，给编辑的信件，或者偶尔邀请的评论文章。仅仅描述一个群落或一个分类群的手稿是不合适的。同样，缺乏生态环境的实验室毒性试验通常不被接受。
