Special Issue on Ecological Environment and Sustainability
Ecological sustainability refers to the capacity of the biosphere to meet the needs of the present generation, without hindering future generations from being able to meet their needs. This means using our natural resources wisely in the short-term so that these resources are available in the long-term. Ecological sustainability relies on the fact that humans have the ability to exhaust (overuse) our natural resources, leaving nothing but polluted water and infertile soil for future generations. Ecological sustainability is the belief that all humans must use resources wisely and efficiently so that these resources never become exhausted or overpolluted.
In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore ecological environment and sustainability. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Maintaining essential biogeochemical cycles and life-support systems
-
Preserving genetic diversity
-
Establishing a sustainable use of species and ecosystems
-

-
