Environmental Microbiology Reports

The journal is identical in scope to Environmental Microbiology, shares the same editorial team and submission site, and will apply the same high level acceptance criteria. The two journals will be mutually supportive and evolve side-by-side. Environmental Microbiology Reports provides a high profile vehicle for publication of the most innovative, original and rigorous research in the field. The scope of the Journal encompasses the diversity of current research on microbial processes in the environment, microbial communities and microbial interactions, including, but not limited to, the following: the structure, activities and communal behaviour of microbial communities microbial interactions and interactions with plants, animals and non-living environmental factors population biology and clonal structure microbes and surfaces adhesion and biofouling responses to environmental signals and stress factors growth and survival modelling and theory development microbial community genetics and evolutionary processes microbial physiological, metabolic and structural diversity pollution microbiology extremophiles and life in extreme and unusual little-explored habitats primary and secondary production element cycles and biogeochemical processes microbially-influenced global changes new technological developments in microbial ecology, in particular for the study of activities of microbial communities and of non-culturable microorganisms Interdisciplinary studies of fundamental problems are particularly welcome.
