Welcome to the Journal of Ecological Engineering Design

The Journal of Ecological Engineering Design (JEED) is the open access journal of the American Ecological Engineering Society, published in partnership with the University of Vermont Press. JEED aims to expand understanding of the science and design of ecosystem processes, functions, and services in academic and professional communities.

JEED is free for readers and free for authors.

JEED is among the first academic journals in our field to publish under a diamond open access model: The content is always freely available to readers via the internet, and authors do not pay any fees to publish. JEED is open to submissions and publishes articles on a rolling basis.
