Regional Environmental Change

Journal Title：Regional Environmental Change

Environmental changes of many kinds are accelerating worldwide, posing significant challenges for humanity. Solutions are needed at the regional level, where physical features of the landscape, biological systems, and human institutions interact.

The goal of Regional Environmental Change is to publish scientific research and opinion papers that improve our understanding of the extent of these changes, their causes, their impacts on people, and the options for society to respond. "Regional" refers to the full range of scales between local and global, including regions defined by natural criteria, such as watersheds and ecosystems, and those defined by human activities, such as urban areas and their hinterlands.

We encourage submissions on interdisciplinary research across the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, and on more focused studies that contribute towards the solutions to complex environmental problems. Topics addressed include (i) the regional manifestations of global change, especially the vulnerability of regions and sectors; (ii) the adaptation of social-ecological systems to environmental change in the context of sustainable development; and (iii) trans-boundary and cross-jurisdictional issues, legislative and governance frameworks, and the broad range of policy and management issues associated with building, maintaining and restoring robust social-ecological systems at regional scales.

The primary format of contributions are research articles, presenting new evidence from analyses of empirical data or else more theoretical investigations of regional environmental change. In addition to research articles, we also publish editorials, short communications, invited mini-reviews on topics of strong current interest, as well as special features that provide multifaceted discussion of complex topics or particular regions

全球范围内，各种环境变化正在加速，给人类带来重大挑战。解决方案需要在区域层面上提出，因为景观的物理特征、生物系统和人类机构相互作用。

《区域环境变化》的目标是发表科学研究和意见论文，以增进我们对这些变化的程度、原因、对人类的影响以及社会应对选择的理解。“区域”是指从地方到全球的各种规模，包括由自然标准定义的区域，如流域和生态系统，以及由人类活动定义的区域，如城市地区及其腹地。

我们鼓励提交自然科学、社会科学和人文科学的跨学科研究，以及有助于解决复杂环境问题的更有针对性的研究。讨论的主题包括 (i) 全球变化的区域表现，特别是区域和部门的脆弱性；(ii) 在可持续发展的背景下社会生态系统对环境变化的适应；以及 (iii) 跨界和跨司法管辖区问题、立法和治理框架，以及与在区域范围内建立、维护和恢复强大的社会生态系统相关的广泛政策和管理问题。

投稿的主要形式是研究文章，从经验数据分析或区域环境变化的更多理论调查中提供新证据。除了研究文章外，我们还发表社论、简短通讯、受邀的关于当前强烈关注主题的迷你评论，以及提供复杂主题或特定区域多方面讨论的特别专题
