Ecological Management & Restoration aims to bridge the gap between the ecologist's perspective and field manager's experience. Publishing peer-reviewed articles, technical reports, news items, reviews and letters on the science and practice of ecosystem restoration and management, this innovative journal combines a highly readable style with scientifically credible material. Ecological Management and Restoration answers the growing need among land managers for reliable, relevant information and acknowledges the need for two-way communication in devising new hypotheses, sound experimentation, effective treatments and reliable monitoring.
TopNews and Announcements
10th Anniversary Virtual Issue - Key articles from the first ten years of EMR, August 2009
This 'virtual issue' of EMR brings together previously published content and marks the journal's 10th Anniversary. Content selection is based on the goal of keeping readers informed about the latest thinking and innovations in restoration science and practice. While the focus of the journal has been on the Australasian region, many of the articles have wider interest and application. This reflects the common issues being addressed by restoration practitioners and scientists across the globe.
Special Issue: Science supporting threatened species conservation
Australia is one of 17 megadiverse countries, which collectively comprise less than 10% of the global surface but support more than 70% of the world's biological diversity (Mittermeier & Mittermeier 1997). Based on the broad suite of current threats, together with compounding and emerging threats, such as climate change, Australia is likely to undergo further significant losses of biodiversity during the coming decades.

Special Issue: Native Vegetation Condition Mapping (Volume 7 Supplement 1)
As the first supplement issue ever published for Ecological Management & Restoration, this special issue is a collection of papers submitted by participants of a workshop held at CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems in Canberra, Australia, in August 2005 titled 'Mapping Vegetation Condition in the Context of Biodiversity Conservation'. Focusing on vegetation condition within a broader regional context as opposed to on-ground assessment methods at the scale of individual sites, this issue brings together managers and researchers with an interest in vegetation condition policy and assessment at different scales.
Call for Papers
Ecological Management & Restoration is seeking feature articles, project, technical or research reports from practitioners and land managers on subjects relevant to the challenge of protecting and sustaining Australasian indigenous ecosystems. Practitioner reports on restoration projects are particularly sought after. If you have a potential article and would like some initial feedback, editing assistance or guidance from an experienced writer, please contact Tein McDonald, teinm@ozemail.com.au
