State-of-Art in the Environmental Sciences and Human Ecology
This special issue belongs to the section “Diversity and Ecology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Life is devoted to current problems in environmental sciences and human ecology. We are planning to consider a wide range of issues that cover multidisciplinary research related to the study of environmental sciences (physics, biology, and geography, including ecology, chemistry, plant science, zoology, mineralogy, oceanography, limnology, soil science, geology and physical geography, and atmospheric science) and human ecology.
Close collaboration between Guest Editors encouraged the idea for this multidisciplinary Special Issue, and we have faith that our successful cooperation will provide a platform for similar successes for other future teams.
This Special Issue offers a broad array of topics in order to provide as wide as possible an overview of current studies in the fields of environmental sciences and human ecology.
We are honored to invite colleagues to contribute to this important Special Issue, which will be of great interest for scientists in many different fields.
