ECOSYSTEMS publishes papers that make general contributions to ecosystem science and will be of interest to a wide international audience. Ecosystem science involves research on ecosystem structure and processes; flows of organisms and materials within and among ecosystems; and structure, process, and change of landscapes and waterscapes. The scope of ecosystem science extends from bounded ecosystems (such as watersheds) to spatially complex landscapes and on to the Earth itself. An ecosystem is a defined area or volume that includes all the organisms, all parts of the abiotic environment, and their interactions within its boundaries. Topics of ecosystem-level research include flows of energy (including organic carbon) and materials (such as carbon, nitrogen, or phosphorus) within ecosystems and across their boundaries, changes in these flows, and changes in biotic and abiotic structure and feedbacks over time. Ecosystem ecology also has strong links to other disciplines such as landscape ecology, global ecology, biogeochemistry, aquatic ecology, conservation, and natural resource management. Landscape ecology addresses spatial dynamics and interactions among ecosystems, such as flows of organisms and materials across boundaries. Changes over time in spatial heterogeneity and lateral movements of organisms and material are thus also topics of ecosystem research. All of ecology occurs within or among ecosystems, but not all ecology is ecosystem research (S.G. Fisher 1997; DOI: 10.2307/1468020). For example, a study of the effect of the environment on the autecology, behavioral ecology or physiological ecology of a particular species is not within the scope of ECOSYSTEMS. Studies of population or community ecology, conservation biology, or biodiversity with no feedbacks to the abiotic environment or flow of energy and materials are also not within the scope of ECOSYSTEMS and will be returned without review. Finally, a single study should not be split up into several parts (i.e., ‘least publishable units’) to increase the quantity of submissions (i.e., ‘salami-slicing’). This practice is especially problematic for ecosystem-level studies that seek a holistic understanding of ecosystem structure and function. For more background on ecosystem and landscape science we suggest: Turner, M. G., and R. H. Gardner. 2015. Landscape Ecology in Theory and Practice, Second ed. Springer-Verlag. Weathers, K. C., D. L. Strayer, and G. E. Likens. 2021. Fundamentals of Ecosys
