Nature Conservation

Scope

Nature Conservation is a peer-reviewed, open-access, rapid online journal in all aspects of nature conservation. Nature Conservation publishes papers across all disciplines interested in basic and applied conservation ecology and nature conservation in general at various spatial, temporal and evolutionary scales, from populations to ecosystems and from microorganisms and fungi to higher plants and animals. The journal focuses on ecological, evolutionary, economic, social and other consequences of biodiversity and ecosystem management and the mitigations of negative impacts on them. Nature Conservation also strongly encourages papers on ethical, social, socio-economic, legal and policy issues related to the management and use of biodiversity and ecosystems. Nature Conservation applies advanced technologies in publishing and dissemination of scientific content, such as data publishing, semantic tagging of and semantic enhancements to published texts.
