Ecological Restoration and Symbiosis (ERS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal which is published quarterly. It focuses on the rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of ecological restoration engineering and its integration with social development, addressing the critical technical, engineering and social challenges in global ecosystem recovery and sustainable development. The journal uniquely bridges scientific research, engineering practice and community livelihoods, with its research scope covering the entire chain of ecological restoration from technology development, engineering implementation to post-restoration management and human-nature coexistence. Committed to upholding the strictest academic standards, all submissions undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the originality, technical soundness, and practical applicability of every published work. We prioritize high-quality, evidence-based research that translates cutting-edge restoration technologies into real-world solutions and documents successful models of sustainable human-nature symbiosis, serving a global community of researchers, engineers, government officials, community practitioners, NGO workers and industrial innovators.

ERS accepts a comprehensive range of manuscript types to fully disseminate frontier advances and practical experiences in the field, including but not limited to original research articles, review articles, editorials, case reports, technical notes, perspectives, short communications, and methodology papers. The journal maintains a well-defined, practice-oriented scope of ecological restoration and sustainable symbiosis research, with core topics including but not limited to:
1.Innovative Ecological Restoration Technologies and Methodologies
2.Digital and Intelligent Technologies for Ecological Restoration (Remote Sensing, GIS, AI, IoT)
