Journal Title：Regional Environmental Change

Environmental changes of many kinds are accelerating worldwide, posing significant challenges for humanity. Solutions are needed at the regional level, where physical features of the landscape, biological systems, and human institutions interact.

The goal of Regional Environmental Change is to publish scientific research and opinion papers that improve our understanding of the extent of these changes, their causes, their impacts on people, and the options for society to respond. "Regional" refers to the full range of scales between local and global, including regions defined by natural criteria, such as watersheds and ecosystems, and those defined by human activities, such as urban areas and their hinterlands.

We encourage submissions on interdisciplinary research across the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, and on more focused studies that contribute towards the solutions to complex environmental problems. Topics addressed include (i) the regional manifestations of global change, especially the vulnerability of regions and sectors; (ii) the adaptation of social-ecological systems to environmental change in the context of sustainable development; and (iii) trans-boundary and cross-jurisdictional issues, legislative and governance frameworks, and the broad range of policy and management issues associated with building, maintaining and restoring robust social-ecological systems at regional scales.

The primary format of contributions are research articles, presenting new evidence from analyses of empirical data or else more theoretical investigations of regional environmental change. In addition to research articles, we also publish editorials, short communications, invited mini-reviews on topics of strong current interest, as well as special features that provide multifaceted discussion of complex topics or particular regions

全球范圍內(nèi)，各種環(huán)境變化正在加速，給人類帶來重大挑戰(zhàn)。解決方案需要在區(qū)域?qū)用嫔咸岢觯驗榫坝^的物理特征、生物系統(tǒng)和人類機構(gòu)相互作用。

《區(qū)域環(huán)境變化》的目標是發(fā)表科學研究和意見論文，以增進我們對這些變化的程度、原因、對人類的影響以及社會應(yīng)對選擇的理解?！皡^(qū)域”是指從地方到全球的各種規(guī)模，包括由自然標準定義的區(qū)域，如流域和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，以及由人類活動定義的區(qū)域，如城市地區(qū)及其腹地。

我們鼓勵提交自然科學、社會科學和人文科學的跨學科研究，以及有助于解決復(fù)雜環(huán)境問題的更有針對性的研究。討論的主題包括 (i) 全球變化的區(qū)域表現(xiàn)，特別是區(qū)域和部門的脆弱性；(ii) 在可持續(xù)發(fā)展的背景下社會生態(tài)系統(tǒng)對環(huán)境變化的適應(yīng)；以及 (iii) 跨界和跨司法管轄區(qū)問題、立法和治理框架，以及與在區(qū)域范圍內(nèi)建立、維護和恢復(fù)強大的社會生態(tài)系統(tǒng)相關(guān)的廣泛政策和管理問題。

投稿的主要形式是研究文章，從經(jīng)驗數(shù)據(jù)分析或區(qū)域環(huán)境變化的更多理論調(diào)查中提供新證據(jù)。除了研究文章外，我們還發(fā)表社論、簡短通訊、受邀的關(guān)于當前強烈關(guān)注主題的迷你評論，以及提供復(fù)雜主題或特定區(qū)域多方面討論的特別專題

Regional Environmental Change創(chuàng)刊于1999年，由Springer Berlin Heidelberg出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環(huán)境科學 - 環(huán)境科學全領(lǐng)域，此刊是該細分領(lǐng)域中屬于非常不錯的SCI期刊，在行業(yè)細分領(lǐng)域中學術(shù)影響力較大，專業(yè)度認可很高，所以對原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性較高，如果您的文章質(zhì)量很高，可以嘗試。平均審稿速度 約6.0個月 ，影響因子指數(shù)3.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
