Aims and Scope

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. The journal aims to expand understanding of the science and design of ecosystem processes, functions, and services in academic and professional communities.

JEED invites short communications (JEED-I), original research papers, subject-area reviews, research case studies, and design research portfolios rooted in the fundamentals of ecological engineering—“the design of sustainable ecosystems that integrate human society with its natural environment for the benefit of both” (Mitsch 2012). Published studies will provide analysis of complex connections between physical, chemical, and biological systems within an ecosystem context, with a focus on design of nature-based solutions to complex, multi-sector problems spanning local to global scales.

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.
