Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research (AEER) is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. This periodical is devoted to publishing high-quality peer-reviewed papers that describe the most significant and cutting-edge research in all areas of environmental science and engineering. Work at any scale, from molecular biology to ecology, is welcomed.
Main research areas include (but are not limited to):
- Atmospheric pollutants
- Air pollution control engineering
- Climate change
- Ecological and human risk assessment
- Environmental management and policy
- Environmental impact and risk assessment
- Environmental microbiology
- Ecosystem services, biodiversity and natural capital
- Environmental economics
- Control and monitoring of pollutants
- Remediation of polluted soils and water
- Fate and transport of contaminants
- Water and wastewater treatment engineering
- Solid waste treatment
Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research publishes a variety of article types (Original Research, Review, Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, etc.). We encourage authors to be succinct; however, authors should present their results in as much detail as necessary. Reviewers are expected to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.

About This Topic
Hydroecosystems: issues, risk assessment, solutions: Hydroecosystems are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities and climate change. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary platform for displaying scientific knowledge of the challenges affecting hydroecosystems, improving risk assessment methodologies, and identifying environmentally-friendly solutions for their protection and/or restoration. The three interconnected themes of the Special Issue are detailed as follows:
1. Emerging and persistent issues in hydroecosystems. Contributions may address physical, chemical, and biological stressors impacting hydroecosystems, including but not limited to pollution, hydromorphological alterations, biodiversity loss, invasive species, and climate-driven changes. Studies examining cumulative and synergistic effects of multiple stressors are particularly encouraged.
2. Risk assessment approaches Contributions may address methodological developments and practical applications for assessing the status of bioresources and evaluating environmental risks more broadly. Topics include but not limited to monitoring strategies, ecotoxicological risk assessment, and modelling approaches. Contributions addressing the translation of scientific findings into regulatory frameworks are particularly encouraged.
3. Solutions including management and policy innovations Contributions may address mitigation, adaptation, and restoration strategies aimed at enhancing hydroecosystem resilience including but not limited to nature-based solutions, sustainable water management practices, pollution control technologies, ecological engineering, and policy instruments. Case studies demonstrating successful interventions are particularly encouraged.
The Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and short communications that seek to advance a holistic understanding of hydroecosystem dynamics under stress.
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue. LIDSEN distributes articles under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License in an open-access model. The authors own the copyright to the article, and the article can be free to access, distribute, and reuse provided that the original work is correctly cited.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Research articles and review articles are highly invited. Authors are encouraged to send the tentative title and abstract of the planned paper to the Editorial Office (aeer@lidsen.com) for record. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office.
