Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on community ecology, focusing on biodiversity patterns, ecosystem functioning, and community assembly. Studies investigate relationships between diversity (species and functional) and ecosystem processes like secondary production, nutrient cycling, and soil formation. Research also explores the impact of environmental factors, including climate change, soil properties, and habitat structure, on species richness and community dynamics. Theoretical frameworks such as neutral theory and models of open communities are applied to understand species packing, stability, and successional processes.
