Ecological Monographs

Journal Title：Ecological Monographs

The vision for Ecological Monographs is that it should be the place for publishing integrative, synthetic papers that elaborate new directions for the field of ecology.

Original Research Papers published in Ecological Monographs will continue to document complex observational, experimental, or theoretical studies that by their very integrated nature defy dissolution into shorter publications focused on a single topic or message.

Reviews will be comprehensive and synthetic papers that establish new benchmarks in the field, define directions for future research, contribute to fundamental understanding of ecological principles, and derive principles for ecological management in its broadest sense (including, but not limited to: conservation, mitigation, restoration, and pro-active protection of the environment). Reviews should reflect the full development of a topic and encompass relevant natural history, observational and experimental data, analyses, models, and theory. Reviews published in Ecological Monographs should further blur the boundaries between “basic” and “applied” ecology.

Concepts and Synthesis papers will conceptually advance the field of ecology. These papers are expected to go well beyond works being reviewed and include discussion of new directions, new syntheses, and resolutions of old questions.

In this world of rapid scientific advancement and never-ending environmental change, there needs to be room for the thoughtful integration of scientific ideas, data, and concepts that feeds the mind and guides the development of the maturing science of ecology. Ecological Monographs provides that room, with an expansive view to a sustainable future.

《生态专著》的愿景是，它应该成为发表综合性、综合性论文的地方，这些论文阐述了生态学领域的新方向。

《生态专著》上发表的原创研究论文将继续记录复杂的观察、实验或理论研究，这些研究由于其高度综合的性质，无法分解为专注于单一主题或信息的较短出版物。

评论将是综合性的综合性论文，它们为该领域建立了新的基准，确定了未来研究的方向，有助于从根本上理解生态原则，并得出最广泛意义上的生态管理原则（包括但不限于：保护、缓解、恢复和主动保护环境）。评论应反映主题的全面发展，并涵盖相关的自然历史、观察和实验数据、分析、模型和理论。《生态专著》上发表的评论应进一步模糊“基础”和“应用”生态学之间的界限。

概念和综合论文将在概念上推动生态学领域的发展。这些论文有望超越正在审查的作品，包括对新方向、新综合和旧问题解决方案的讨论。

在这个科学进步迅速、环境变化永无止境的世界里，需要有空间来深思熟虑地整合科学思想、数据和概念，以滋养思想并指导生态学日趋成熟的发展。《生态专著》提供了这样的空间，为可持续的未来提供了广阔的视野。
