期刊簡介預(yù)計審稿時間： 12 Weeks

Our natural world is experiencing a state of rapid change unprecedented in the presence of humans. The changes affect virtually all physical, chemical and biological systems on Earth. The interaction of these systems leads to tipping points, feedbacks and amplification of effects. In virtually all cases, the causes of environmental change can be traced to human activity through either direct interventions as a consequence of pollution, or through global warming from greenhouse case emissions. Well-formulated and internationally-relevant policies to mitigate the change, or adapt to the consequences, that will ensure our ability to thrive in the coming decades are badly needed. Without proper understanding of the processes involved, and deep understanding of the likely impacts of bad decisions or inaction, the security of food, water and energy is a risk. Left unchecked shortages of these basic commodities will lead to migration, global geopolitical tension and conflict. This represents the major challenge of our time. We are the first generation to appreciate the problem and we will be judged in future by our ability to determine and take the action necessary. Appropriate knowledge of the condition of our natural world, appreciation of the changes occurring, and predictions of how the future will develop are requisite to the definition and implementation of solutions.

Frontiers in Environmental Science publishes research at the cutting edge of knowledge of our natural world and its various intersections with society. It bridges between the identification and measurement of change, comprehension of the processes responsible, and the measures needed to reduce their impact. Its aim is to assist the formulation of policies, by offering sound scientific evidence on environmental science, that will lead to a more inhabitable and sustainable world for the generations to come.

我們的自然界正在經(jīng)歷人類存在以來前所未有的快速變化。這些變化幾乎影響到地球上所有的物理、化學(xué)和生物系統(tǒng)。這些系統(tǒng)的相互作用導(dǎo)致臨界點、反饋和效應(yīng)放大。在幾乎所有情況下，環(huán)境變化的原因都可以追溯到人類活動，無論是通過污染導(dǎo)致的直接干預(yù)，還是通過溫室氣體排放導(dǎo)致的全球變暖。我們迫切需要制定完善的、具有國際相關(guān)性的政策來緩解變化或適應(yīng)其后果，以確保我們在未來幾十年繁榮發(fā)展的能力。如果不正確理解所涉及的過程，不深入了解錯誤決策或不作為可能產(chǎn)生的影響，糧食、水和能源的安全就會面臨風(fēng)險。如果不加以控制，這些基本商品的短缺將導(dǎo)致移民、全球地緣政治緊張和沖突。這是我們這個時代面臨的主要挑戰(zhàn)。我們是第一代意識到這個問題的人，未來我們將根據(jù)我們做出決定和采取必要行動的能力來評判我們。正確了解自然界的狀況、了解正在發(fā)生的變化以及預(yù)測未來的發(fā)展方式，是定義和實施解決方案的必要條件。

《環(huán)境科學(xué)前沿》發(fā)表有關(guān)自然界及其與社會各種交集的前沿知識研究。它連接了變化的識別和測量、對負(fù)責(zé)過程的理解以及減少其影響所需的措施。它的目的是通過提供環(huán)境科學(xué)方面的可靠科學(xué)證據(jù)來協(xié)助制定政策，從而為子孫后代創(chuàng)造一個更適宜居住和可持續(xù)的世界。
