JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY

《生态学杂志》发表关于水生和陆地生态系统中植物(包括藻类)生态的所有方面的原创文章。如果这些文章涉及重要的生态或进化问题，我们将发表仅与栽培植物和农业生态系统有关的论文。人们接受对植物群落、种群或单个物种的研究，以及对植物与动物、真菌或细菌之间相互作用的研究。我们的目标是将任何生态方法(包括分子技术)的重要工作带给广泛的国际读者，因此只发表具有强烈生态信息的论文，以增进我们对生态原则的理解。所提出的研究必须超越个案研究的范围。实验研究和理论研究都被接受，描述性的或历史性的研究也被接受，尽管这些研究必须提供生态学家普遍感兴趣的问题的见解。

Journal of Ecology publishes original articles on all aspects of the ecology of plants (including algae), in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. We will publish papers concerned solely with cultivated plants and agricultural ecosystems if such articles address important ecological or evolutionary questions. Studies of plant communities, populations or individual species are accepted, as well as studies of the interactions between plants and animals, fungi or bacteria.We aim to bring important work using any ecological approach (including molecular techniques) to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers with strong and ecological messages that advance our understanding of ecological principles. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies. Both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted, as are descriptive or historical accounts, although these must offer insights into issues of general interest to ecologists.
