Journal of Ecology and Field Biology (ISSN: 1975-020X)

Description

The Journal of Ecology and Field Biology, an international quarterly journal, is the official journal of the Ecological Society of Korea, and is endorsed by the East Asian Federation of Ecological Societies (EAFES). The Journal of Ecology and Field Biology publishes peer-reviewed, original research papers, reviews, reports, and comments covering all aspects of ecology and field biology of all kinds of organisms, including modeling and theoretical aspects, and the influence of environmental factors on them. The subjects and contents of any review article should be discussed with the Editor prior to submission. The coverage of the journal ranges from molecular-level mechanistic studies to investigations at the whole ecosystem (global) scale. Also, the journal publishes articles presenting research across disciplinary and environmental boundaries, including studies examining interactions among geological, microbial, biological, chemical, physical, hydrological, and societal processes.
The aim of the Journal of Ecology and Field Biology is to provide a forum for the ecologist to address and evaluate ecological issues relating to processes and structures at different integration levels (individuals, populations, communities, ecosystems and the landscape). The journal bridges fundamental ecology and environmental ecology and spans the boundaries of spatial and temporal scale, discipline and perspective.
The journal particularly encourages submission of papers relating to ecology in East Asia. Studies that are hypothesis driven and with an experimental approach are especially welcome. Unless potential papers document important and relatively unknown aspects of field studies of a broad interest, we discourage papers that describe only the presence and abundance of biota in local habitats as well as papers that are purely systematic.
