《生態復雜性》是一份國際期刊，致力于出版高質量的、同行評議的文章，內容涉及環境中生物復雜性的各個方面、理論生態學和當前感興趣的專題。該雜志的范圍是廣泛的和跨學科的綜合和定量的方法。該雜志特別鼓勵以適當廣泛的時空尺度提交綜合自然和社會過程的論文。生態復雜性將發表以下領域的研究:?環境和理論生態學中生物復雜性的所有方面?生態系統和生物圈作為復雜的適應系統?空間擴展的生態系統的自組織?復雜生態系統的突發性和結構?時空生態格局的形成?生物物理約束和進化吸引子對物種組合的作用?生態尺度(尺度不變性、尺度協方差和跨尺度動力學)、異速測量和層次理論?生態拓撲和網絡?研究復雜系統的生態學?研究動態人與環境交互的復雜系統方法?利用非線性現象的知識，更好地指導政策制定，以適應戰略和減緩環境變化?研究生態復雜性的新工具和方法本雜志應刊登的論文有以下特點:?與環境相關的生物復雜性，反之亦然跨學科(如生物學、生態學、環境科學、數學、建模)?自然和社會過程的整合(尤其是隨著時間的推移)

Ecological Complexity is an international journal devoted to the publication of high quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of biocomplexity in the environment, theoretical ecology, and special issues on topics of current interest. The scope of the journal is wide and interdisciplinary with an integrated and quantitative approach. The journal particularly encourages submission of papers that integrate natural and social processes at appropriately broad spatio-temporal scales.Ecological Complexity will publish research into the following areas:? All aspects of biocomplexity in the environment and theoretical ecology? Ecosystems and biospheres as complex adaptive systems? Self-organization of spatially extended ecosystems? Emergent properties and structures of complex ecosystems? Ecological pattern formation in space and time? The role of biophysical constraints and evolutionary attractors on species assemblages? Ecological scaling (scale invariance, scale covariance and across scale dynamics), allometry, and hierarchy theory? Ecological topology and networks? Studies towards an ecology of complex systems? Complex systems approaches for the study of dynamic human-environment interactions? Using knowledge of nonlinear phenomena to better guide policy development for adaptation strategies and mitigation to environmental change? New tools and methods for studying ecological complexityThe papers that should appear in this journal are characterized by:? Biocomplexity related to the environment and vice versa? Inter disciplinarity (e.g. biology, ecology, environmental science, mathematics, modelling)? Integration of natural and social processes (esp. over time)
