Journal of Environmental Quality

The Journal of Environmental Quality (JEQ) is published by ASA, CSSA, and SSSA. Papers in JEQ cover various aspects of anthropogenic impacts on the environment, including terrestrial, atmospheric, and aquatic systems. Emphasis is given to the understanding of underlying processes rather than to monitoring. The journal publishes contributions under the headings of (i) Special Sections, (ii) Reviews and Analyses, (iii) Environmental Issues, (iv) Technical Reports, (v) Short Communications, (vi) Letters to the Editor, and (vii) Book Reviews. Technical reports published in JEQ are grouped by subject matter. These subject areas are periodically reviewed by the JEQ editorial board and are subject to change. The subject matter areas are: atmospheric pollutants and trace gases ; biodegredation and bioremediation ; ecological risk assessment ; ecosystem restoration ; environmental microbiology ; environmental models, modules, and datasets ; groundwater quality ; heavy metals in the environment ; landscape and watershed processes ; organic compounds in the environment ; plant and environmental interactions ; remote sensing and environmental degredation ; surface water quality ; urban pollutants ; vadose zone processes and chemical transport ; waste management ; wetland and aquatic processes.
