Environments (ISSN: 2076-3298) is an international and cross-disciplinary scholarly, open access journal focusing on the advances, issues, and challenges related to environmental systems. Our aim is to encourage scientists and engineers to publish their novel experimental, theoretical, and practical results in a variety of areas that range from environmental conservation, environmental technologies, ecosystem services, risk, policy, governance, monitoring, and modeling of environmental systems, stakeholder engagement, and decision support.
