International scientific journals
Proceedings in international scientific journals
The organising committee and scientific committe are in contact with editors of international scientific journals on applied ecology, restoration ecology and ecological engineering to have the opportunities to publish several special issues after the congress. More than the extended abstract for the SER Europe Knowledge Base on Ecological Restoration in Europe ; all the participants who have realised a presentation during the 7th SER European Conference ion Ecological restoration in Avignon (plenary sessions, special sessions, parallel sessions, workshops or posters) will have the possibility to publish one or more papers in the journals listed below. Each journal will have his own instructions to authors and his own topics to accept the different proposals. Each special issue will have an associate editor from the SER 2010 scientific committee that can be contacted for more informations.
More details about special issues (instructions to authors, deadline for submission) will appear regularly on this Webpage and will be given during the congress.
- Knowledge and Management of Aquatic ecosystems
Applied Vegetation Science
Special feature in Applied Vegetation Science on
‘Restoration and management of seminatural vegetation’
Call for papers
Applied Vegetation Science is a journal which includes any community-level topic relevant to human impact on vegetation, including restoration of plant communities and of the habitats of threatened plant species. It already published 19 papers in a special feature in December 2003, results from the Third European Conference on Restoration Ecology held in Budapest, Hungary 25-31 August 2002. As we expect numerous highly relevant contributions in the field of applied vegetaton science we offer the participants of the opportunity for another special feature on ‘Restoration and management of seminatural vegetation’ summarizing the most interesting results of the 7th conference held in Avignon, France 23-27 August 2010 in this field.
Impact Factor = 1.349
If you want to submit a paper for this special issue, please contact Elise Buisson or Norbert Hölzel, the associate editors for this special issue.

Freshwater Biology
Freshwater Biology publishes papers on all aspects of the ecology of inland surface waters, including rivers and lakes, connected ground waters, flood plains and other wetlands. They publish studies of micro-organisms, algae, macrophytes, invertebrates, fish and other vertebrates, as well as those concerning whole systems and related physical and chemical aspects of the environment. Manuscripts with an experimental or conceptual flavour are especially welcome, as are those which integrate laboratory and field work, and studies from less well researched areas of the world.
Impact Factor = 2.861
Following the congress in Avignon, Freshwater Biology will realize a special issue dedicated to “Wetland Restoration”.
If you want to submit a paper for this special issue, please contact Dr. Gudrun Bornette who will be the associate editor gudrun.bornette@univ-lyon1.fr

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems (KMAE)
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems (KMAE-Bulletin Français de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture since 1928) serves as a foundation for scientific advice across the broad spectrum of management and conservation issues related to freshwater ecosystems.The journal publishes articles, short communications, reviews, comments and replies that contribute to a scientific understanding of freshwater ecosystems and the impact of human activities upon these systems. Its scope includes economic, social, and public administration studies, in so far as they are directly concerned with the management of freshwater ecosystems (e.g. European Water Framework Directive, USA Clean Water Act, Canadian Water Quality Guidelines, …) and prove of general interest to freshwater specialists. Papers on insular freshwater ecosystems and on transitional waters or estuaries are welcome.
Impact factor = 0.530
A special issue of KMAE will be published after the 7th SER European Congress on ecological restoration based on contributions from special session 5 and special session 7 and other contributions on this topic : Mediterranean and atlantic river restoration.

Ecological Restoration
"Ecological Restoration is a forum for people interested in all areas of ecological restoration. We feature the technical and biological aspects of restoring landscapes, as well as emerging professional issues, the role of education, evolving theories of post-modern humans and their environment, land-use policy, the science of collaboration, and more. The quarterly publication offers original feature articles, short notes, and book reviews as well as abstracts of pertinent work published elsewhere."
Ecological Restoration will publish the eight abstracts from the plenary sessions to a number that will be defined with the organising committee of SER 2010.
