Ecosystems and Climate Change: Understanding Impacts to Shape the Future

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This topic explores the intersection of environmental chemistry, human health, and climate change, focusing on how climate shifts influence the presence, behavior, fate, and distribution of anthropogenic substances across all environmental compartments—air, soil, sediment, water, and biota. It welcomes both experimental studies and literature reviews, with a dual emphasis on mitigation and adaptation strategies. Technological innovations applicable to large-scale environmental challenges and climate disaster response will also be featured.

A distinctive aspect of this issue is its holistic perspective, addressing critical processes such as bioconcentration, bioaccumulation, biomagnification, biotransformation, and the environmental fate of pollutants. It will also delve into contaminant dynamics, environmental processes, ecotoxicology, and toxicological impacts, all viewed through the lens of climate change.

By re-examining established topics with a climate-focused perspective, the Special Issue seeks to advance understanding of how environmental and chemical stressors affect both ecosystems and human health. It aligns with the journal’s mission to support sustainable development, offering timely insights and scientific contributions to pressing global issues.
