Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Aquatic Sciences publishes research on the ecology and management of aquatic ecosystems. Articles focus on the impacts of climate change, such as warming, droughts, and extreme weather events, on lake and coastal environments. Studies also investigate nutrient cycling, dissolved organic matter, and the influence of human activities like farming and water transfer projects on aquatic communities. Research examines fish populations, freshwater mussels, coral reefs, and zooplankton, considering factors like habitat, environmental variables, and species interactions.
