Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on ecological status assessment using biomonitoring tools like multimetric indices and macroinvertebrate communities in aquatic ecosystems. It also covers the accumulation of metals by lichens, the impact of pollution on soil microbiomes, and the distribution of medicinal plants influenced by climate change. Studies examine food chain structures in high-latitude lakes, desertification processes, and the effects of climate change and extreme weather events on ecosystems and species distribution. Research also investigates soil properties, the impact of pollutants on epiphytic organisms, and the genetic diversity of freshwater invertebrates. Additionally, the journal addresses the effects of extreme climate events on river basins, the behavior of hydrocarbons in Arctic soils, and the dynamics of ichthyoplankton in coastal waters.
