Scope

• The journal bridges fundamental ecology, environmental ecology and environmental problem-solving, and it does so across a wide range of temporal and spatial scales.该刊在基础生态学，环境生态学与环境问题求解之间搭桥，并且覆盖从短到长，从局部到全球的时空尺度。

• Research papers form the core of what it carries, and they are joined by editorials, mini-reviews and special features.研究论文构成其刊载内容的核心，社论，小型综述与专题特写与之并列。

• The journal reviews new tools and methods that are of broad interest to ecosystem scientists, so methodological work has a home in it.该刊评介对生态系统科学家有广泛意义的新工具与新方法，因此方法学工作在其中有一席之地。

• Papers that integrate biotic, abiotic and social data are published, which puts ecological questions beside human ones.整合生物，非生物与社会数据的论文会被发表，这把生态学问题与人的问题并置。

• Both terrestrial and aquatic the journal fall inside the scope, so the journal is not confined to one kind of habitat.陆地与水生生态系统都在范围之内，因此该刊并不局限于某一类生境。

• Studies of the journal are expected to employ diverse approaches, and theory and modelling are named among them.对生态系统的研究被期望采用多样的方法，理论与建模被列在其中。

• Long-term investigations appear on the same list, which suits a journal that studies slow processes.长期观测出现在同一份清单上，这切合一份研究缓慢过程的刊物。

• Comparative research and large experiments are named as further approaches.比较研究与大型实验被列为另外两种方法。

• The editors encourage submissions that support and advance the sustainable development goals of the United Nations, and the two that concern life below water and life on land are named.编辑鼓励支持并推进联合国可持续发展目标的投稿，其中涉及水下生物与陆地生物的两项被点出。

• Publishing follows a hybrid model, and the journal states that there is no charge to publish unless an author chooses the open access route.出版采用混合模式，该刊声明除非作者选择开放获取路径，否则发表不收费。

• Its editorial board is international, and the journal takes pride in the distinction of its editors-in-chief.其编委会具有国际性，该刊以主编的声望为荣。

• Its editors describe the journal as bridging three things at once, which is why many of its papers speak to more than one audience.编辑把该刊描述为同时在三者之间搭桥，这也是为什么其许多论文面向不止一类读者。

• The journal reviews new instruments as well as analytical methods, since ecosystem science depends on how things are measured.该刊既评介新的分析手段也评介新仪器，因为生态系统科学取决于事物如何被测量。
