Journal of Applied Ecology

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Applied Ecology focuses on the application of ecological principles to environmental issues. Recent articles investigate ecological forecasting for reforestation and restoration, biodiversity offsetting and its effectiveness for wild pollinators, and the impact of habitat fragmentation and edge effects on plant communities. The journal also examines the influence of human activities and infrastructure on wildlife movement and habitat use, conservation planning for terrestrial and freshwater species, and the effects of agricultural practices like strip cropping on biodiversity. Additionally, research explores the challenges and outcomes of ecological restoration, including year effects and climate influences on plant communities, and the role of biological soil crusts and fire in dryland ecosystems. Studies also address the use of technology, such as artificial intelligence and camera traps, for ecological monitoring and analysis, and the impact of human-made structures like dams on freshwater species connectivity.
