The scientific interests tackled in Basic and Applied Ecology are Ecology, Species richness, Agronomy, Habitat and Biodiversity. It facilitated presentations on Ecology research, particularly Abundance (ecology), Herbivore, Predation, Ecosystem and Species diversity. The journal covers Herbivore research under the subject of Botany.
The Predation works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Trophic level and Generalist and specialist species. The journal explores issues in Species richness which can be linked to other research areas like Plant community, Vegetation and Pollinator. It connects the study in Agronomy with the closely related area of Nutrient.
Basic and Applied Ecology addresses concerns in Habitat which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Range (biology) and Biological dispersal. Biological dispersal research is concerned with Seed dispersal in particular. In addition to Biodiversity research, Basic and Applied Ecology aims to explore topics under Agroforestry and Ecosystem services.
The published articles primarily tackle Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Botany and Habitat. The Biodiversity research tackled in the journal publications is interrelated with Ecosystem services which concerns subjects like Pollination and Agriculture. The studies on Botany discussed at the journal publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Host (biology) and Agronomy.
The concepts of Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Habitat and Ecosystem are tackled in the journal. As a part of it, discussions in Ecology involve topics like Abundance (ecology), Pollinator, Abiotic component, Predation and Plant community. The study of Biomass (ecology) and how it intertwines with concepts under Productivity (ecology) were explored in the presented Species richness research.
While work presented in Basic and Applied Ecology provided substantial information on Biodiversity, it also covered topics in Agroforestry, Urbanization, Agronomy and Ecosystem services. While it focused on Habitat, it was also able to explore topics like Wildflower, Grazing, Vegetation and Arable land. In the journal, Carbon sequestration, Specific leaf area, Environmental resource management and Prescribed burn are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Ecosystem research.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Basic and Applied Ecology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Basic and Applied Ecology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 10.74% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.63% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.74% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.81% of all publications and 39.81% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For those interested in environmental sciences, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career pathways. An online psychology masters offers insight into human behavior, which complements environmental work focused on community impact and sustainability. Understanding how people interact with their environment is a valuable skill in this field.
Many graduates wonder, what jobs can you get with an environmental science degree? The options range from environmental consultant to policy analyst, wildlife biologist, or sustainability coordinator. The degree provides strong foundations for roles that require analyzing data, managing environmental projects, and ensuring compliance with regulations.
Another popular path is pursuing an online environmental engineering degree. This program emphasizes technical skills to design and implement solutions tackling pollution, waste management, and resource conservation.
For those interested in interdisciplinary approaches, combined programs like 5 year accelerated speech pathology programs can also be considered. These programs prepare professionals to support communication disorders, often linked to environmental factors such as exposure to toxins.
