Science of TOtal ENvironment Journal (STOTEN) has announced two special issues with relevance for Chesapeake Bay researchers and managers.
The journal will soon be accepting applications for papers to be included in a special issue on Eutrophication: A new wine in an old bottle. The web site for application will be open from early August through the end of December, with a forecasted publication in October 2018. If you have any pending manuscript or the will to write one on the topic, we encourage you to submit it to our special issue.
This special issue aims at gathering and sharing interdisciplinary research on eutrophication with special emphasis on land-water interactions along all, or a part of the land-water-sea continuum. Reviews of long term case studies at all spatial scales are welcome, as well as reviews of current issues related to eutrophication.
STOTEN is also developing a special issue on Climate Change Impact on Water and the Environment. Manuscript submission will open on September 1 through October 31, 2017.The expected publication date is March 31, 2018.
Climate change is one of the most significant phenomena of the 21st century which has gained a lot of attention in recent times. It has affected all dimensions of natural and managed ecosystems, from food and energy security to water environment. Knowledge of climate change impacts on water environment can be valuable for water resources management in agriculture, urban and industrial water supply, hydropower generation and ecosystem maintenance. Projection of the state of the global climate system and its consequences on water environment can help managers develop adaptive strategies, and make strategic investments in infrastructure and information sources for integrated water resources management.
Therefore, the special issue ‘Climate change impact on water environment’ seeks to create a platform to review and present the current state of knowledge regarding the potential impacts of climate change on water environment, particularly on hydrology, groundwater, lakes and estuaries and water quality.
