Journal Title：Ecological Indicators

The ultimate aim of Ecological Indicators is to integrate the monitoring and assessment of ecological and environmental indicators with management practices. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the applied scientific development and review of traditional indicator approaches as well as for theoretical, modelling and quantitative applications such as index development. Research into the following areas will be published.

• All aspects of ecological and environmental indicators and indices.

• New indicators, and new approaches and methods for indicator development, testing and use.

• Development and modelling of indices, e.g. application of indicator suites across multiple scales and resources.

• Analysis and research of resource, system- and scale-specific indicators.

• Methods for integration of social and other valuation metrics for the production of scientifically rigorous and politically-relevant assessments using indicator-based monitoring and assessment programs.

• How research indicators can be transformed into direct application for management purposes.

• Broader assessment objectives and methods, e.g. biodiversity, biological integrity, and sustainability, through the use of indicators.

• Resource-specific indicators such as landscape, agroecosystems, forests, wetlands, etc.

生态指标的最终目的是将生态和环境指标的监测和评估与管理实践相结合。该杂志为讨论应用科学发展和回顾传统指标方法以及理论、建模和定量应用（如指数开发）提供了一个论坛。将发表对以下领域的研究。

• 各方面的生态环境指标和指标。

• 新指标，以及指标开发、测试和使用的新方法和方法。

• 指数的开发和建模，例如跨多个尺度和资源的指标套件应用。

• 资源、系统和规模特定指标的分析和研究。

• 整合社会和其他估值指标的方法，以便使用基于指标的监测和评估计划进行科学严谨和政治相关的评估。

• 如何将研究指标转化为直接应用于管理目的。

• 更广泛的评估目标和方法，例如生物多样性、生物完整性和可持续性，通过使用指标。

• 资源特定指标，例如景观、农业生态系统、森林、湿地等。
