Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical, biological and information sciences to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. Environmental science emerged from the fields of natural history and medicine during the Enlightenment.
Environmental biology provides an integrated, quantitative and interdisciplinary approach to study of environmental systems. As it also involves finding solutions for resolving problems associated with sustainability, it has a global impact. Environmental research is therefore closely followed by people from all walks of life. Environmental Journals bring together all the available literature in the field of environmental biology. They hold a special place in the scholarly communication milieu as they transfer expert knowledge synthesized from the ever burgeoning literature on environmental biology to the scholars and the society.
