POLYMAS Environment, Ecology & Sustainability aims to advance understanding of Earth’s coupled human–natural systems and accelerate pathways toward ecological integrity, a healthy environment and sustainable development.
Aims & Scope
POLYMAS Environment, Ecology & Sustainability is an interdisciplinary journal that bridges environmental processes, ecological science, and sustainability solutions. It publishes high-quality original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and commentary addressing the interconnected challenges of the triple planetary crisis—climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
POLYMAS Environment, Ecology & Sustainability welcomes studies that are theoretically rigorous, methodologically innovative, and relevant to decision-making. Purely descriptive work without broader implications, or research focused solely on human health/engineering without clear ecological or sustainability linkages, falls outside the scope of the journal. The areas that the journal prioritizes include but are not limited to:
(1) Circular Economy, Resource Systems, and Pollution — Material flows, low-carbon and bio-based materials; resource circularity, waste management and waste-to-resource technologies; emerging pollutants (e.g., microplastics, Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs)); soil and biogeochemical remediation.
(2) Climate–Biodiversity Synergies and Trade-offs — Modelling of mitigation/adaptation pathways; climate and biodiversity interaction (e.g., in food and land systems) and underlying mechanisms; nature-based solutions.
(3) Resilience, Extremes, and Adaptation — Impacts of extreme weather, hydrological extremes, heat, and compound events on ecosystems and societies; climate adaptation planning; sustainable agriculture and food-system resilience under climate stress.
(4) Energy Transition, AI, and Environmental Footprints — Environmental impacts of renewable expansion, critical minerals, energy–water demands; life-cycle assessment of clean technologies; AI for sustainable, environmental and ecological applications; water-energy-food-ecosystem nexus.
