International Journal on Ecological Modelling and Systems Ecology
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/ecolmodel/
Aims and scope. The journal is concerned with the use of mathematical models and systems analysis for the description of ecosystems and for the control of environmental pollution and management of resources. It combines mathematical modelling, systems analysis, thermodynamics, and computer techniques with ecology and management of the environment and its natural resources. When man intrudes he inevitably disturbs the delicate balance of organisms, substances and their activity, that Nature has evolved. Ecosystems can adapt to man’s violent activities, but only up to a certain point. The impact on ecosystems can only be described quantitatively by the application of ecological models and systems ecology, and their reactions to perturbations can only be understood by the use of ecosystem theory. The fields of ecological modelling, systems ecology and ecosystem theory are consequently the basis of the philosophy behind the journal.
Types of paper published in the journal: 1. Original research papers (Regular papers) 2. Review articles 3. Short communications 4. (Guest) Editorials 5. Letters to the editor 6. Book reviews 7. News and Announcements

Electronic manuscripts: Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs. For the initial submission of manuscripts for consideration, hardcopies are sufficient. For the processing of accepted papers, electronic versions are preferred. After final acceptance, your disk plus three, final and exactly matching printed versions should be submitted together. Double density (DD) or high density (HD) diskettes (312 or 514 inch) are acceptable. It is important that the file saved is in the native format of the wordprocessor program used. Label the disk with the name of the computer and wordprocessing package used, your name, and the name of the file on the disk. Further information may be obtained from the Publisher. Proofs: One set of proofs will be sent to the author to be checked for printer’s errors. No changes to the original manuscript will be allowed at this stage. In the case of two or more authors please indicate to whom the proofs should be sent. Offprints: Twenty-five off prints of each article published will be supplied free of charge. Additional offprints can be ordered on an offprint order form which is included with the proofs.
Submission of articles: Three copies of the manuscript and figures, and the full contact details of three reviewers, should be submitted to the Editorial Secretariat, Ecological Modelling, Elsevier Science B.V., P.O.
