《群落生態(tài)學(xué)》于2000年創(chuàng)刊，是由兩家著名的生態(tài)學(xué)期刊《群落學(xué)》和《植物文摘》合并而成，旨在為群落生態(tài)學(xué)家創(chuàng)建一個(gè)共同的全球論壇。參閱前八卷(2000 - 2007)的內(nèi)容。該期刊的范圍包括但不限于以下主題領(lǐng)域:以社區(qū)為基礎(chǔ)的生態(tài)理論。生態(tài)群落建模。以社區(qū)為基礎(chǔ)的生態(tài)生理學(xué)。時(shí)間動(dòng)態(tài)，包括演替。營養(yǎng)相互作用，包括食物網(wǎng)和競爭。空間模式分析，包括縮放問題。物種豐富和多樣性的群落模式。抽樣的生態(tài)社區(qū)。數(shù)據(jù)分析方法，包括多元分析和地質(zhì)統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)。歡迎在陸地、海洋或淡水系統(tǒng)中對植物、動(dòng)物和/或微生物群落進(jìn)行基于實(shí)驗(yàn)的實(shí)地研究。純描述性研究一般不接受發(fā)表。

COMMUNITY ECOLOGY was launched in 2000 following the merger of two well-established ecological periodicals, Coenoses and Abstracta Botanica in an effort to create a common global forum for community ecologists. See the contents of its first eight volumes (2000 - 2007). The scope of the journal includes, but is not restricted to, the following subject areas: Community-based ecological theory.Modelling of ecological communities.Community-based ecophysiology.Temporal dynamics, including succession.Trophic interactions, including food webs and competition.Spatial pattern analysis, including scaling issues.Community patterns of species richness and diversity.Sampling ecological communities.Data analysis methods, including multivariate analysis and geostatistics.Experimentally-based field studies of plant, animal and/or microbial communities, in terrestrial, marine or freshwater systems, are welcome. Purely descriptive studies will not normally be accepted for publication.
