Scope

• The journal publishes critical literature reviews rather than primary research papers, and its authorship and subject matter are deliberately international.期刊发表批判性文献综述而非原创研究论文，作者与选题均有意保持国际化。
• Recurring themes include sustainability, water supply management, climate change and the impacts of resource harvesting.常见主题包括可持续性、供水管理、气候变化以及资源收获带来的影响。
• Acid rain, pesticide use, lake acidification, and air and marine pollution have been treated in its review programme.酸雨、农药使用、湖泊酸化，以及空气与海洋污染，均在其综述选题之列。
• Oil and gas development, biological control and biomagnification along food chains are also within scope.油气开发、生物防治以及沿食物链发生的生物放大同样属于收稿范围。
• Rehabilitation of polluted aquatic systems, erosion and forestry are covered alongside related land-use questions.受污染水体的修复、侵蚀与林业，连同相关的土地利用问题一并纳入。
• Bio-indicators of environmental stress and the conservation of biodiversity form a further strand of the journal's coverage.环境压力的生物指示物与生物多样性保护，构成本刊覆盖的另一条主线。
• The unifying concern is how natural and man-made ecosystems respond to anthropogenic stress, and how far they recover.贯穿全刊的关切是自然与人工生态系统如何响应人为压力，以及能在多大程度上恢复。

History

• The journal was founded in 1993 by the research journals programme of the National Research Council of Canada and was conceived as a reviews-only title from the outset.本刊于 1993 年由加拿大国家研究委员会的研究期刊出版部门创办，自创刊起即定位为纯综述期刊。
• In September 2010 that publishing arm left the federal government and became Canadian Science Publishing, an independent not-for-profit corporation, taking its journals with it.2010 年 9 月，该出版部门从联邦政府剥离，转制为独立的非营利出版社（Canadian Science Publishing），旗下期刊随同转移。
• For a period the new company continued to trade under the NRC Research Press brand while publishing from Ottawa.转制后一段时间内，新公司仍以（NRC Research Press）品牌在渥太华出版。
• Four issues appear each year, and the editorial office has long been associated with Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.期刊每年出版四期，编辑部长期与安大略省金斯顿的皇后大学保持关联。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 6.3, against 5.1 in 2024 and 5.547 in 2022, and the five-year profile also sits in the first quartile.2025 年期刊影响因子为 6.3，2024 年为 5.1，2022 年为 5.547，五年期表现同样处于第一四分位。

• Vinebrooke works on the cumulative impacts of multiple stressors on lake biodiversity and on ecological recovery, complementing Zhang's engineering and contaminant expertise.Vinebrooke 研究多重压力因子对湖泊生物多样性的累积影响与生态恢复，与 Zhang 的工程学及污染物研究形成互补。
• Kathleen Ruhland, also at Queen's University, serves as assistant editor and runs the day-to-day editorial office.同样任职于皇后大学的 Kathleen Ruhland 担任助理编辑，负责编辑部日常事务。
