In the past decades, synergy of human disturbances (e.g., urbanization, deforestation, and hydropower exploitation) and climate change has caused a series of impacts on many hydrological processes in multi-scale river basins, leading to many changes in the environment(DeFries and Eshleman, 2004;Wilcox,  2010;Mitsch, 2012). Such changing environmental conditions are resulting in: (a) the gradual shifts of many water-related processes, parameters and factors (e.g., water cycles, precipitation patterns, and runoff regimes), and (b) the increasing frequencies and intensities of extreme climatic events (e.g., floods and droughts). Either influence pathway of changing environmental conditions may have direct and/or indirect effects on human society and indigenous ecosystems, which in turn have adaptive responses at multiple spatial and temporal scales. At the same time, many water-related and ecological problems are triggered, such as water shortage, habitat fragmentation, and ecological degradation. These problems may cause great losses in lives and properties, and many unrecoverable ecological results (IPCC, 2007).

Ecological Engineering

生态工程被定义为为人类和自然的共同利益而设计的生态系统。该杂志面向因研究兴趣或职业而参与设计、监测或恢复生态系统的生态学家，可作为生态学家和工程师之间的桥梁。该杂志涵盖的具体主题包括：栖息地重建；生态技术；合成生态学；生物工程；恢复生态；生态保护；生态系统恢复；溪流和河流恢复；填海生态；不可再生资源保护。只有在为当前研究增加新奇并强调生态系统恢复的背景下，才能接受对生态工程具体应用的描述。我们不接受关于生态系统结构的纯粹描述性报告（如植被调查）、对可用于生态恢复的材料的纯粹物理评估、在实验室或温室中进行的人工（废水）水或作物研究的小型模型研究，或关于常规废水处理和富营养化的案例研究，这些案例研究并未在论文中提供生态系统恢复方法。

Ecological Engineering is defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humanity and nature. This journal is aimed at ecologists who are involved in the design, monitoring, or restoration of ecosystems due to their research interests or professions, serving as a bridge between ecologists and engineers. The specific topics covered by the journal include habitat reconstruction, ecological technology, synthetic ecology, bioengineering, restoration ecology, ecological conservation, ecosystem restoration, stream and river restoration, coastal ecology, and the conservation of non-renewable resources. We only accept descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering that add novelty to current research and emphasize the context of ecosystem restoration. Purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structure (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessments of materials available for ecological restoration, small-scale model studies of artificial (wastewater) water or crop research conducted in laboratories or greenhouses, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not provide ecosystem restoration methods in the paper will not be accepted.
