Science of the Total Environment
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/science-of-the-total-environment/
An International Journal for Scientific Research into the Environment and its Relationship with Humankind
Science of the Total Environment is an international journal for publication of original research on the total environment, which includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and anthroposphere.
The total environment is characterized where these five spheres overlap. Studies that focus on at least two or three of these will be given primary consideration. Papers reporting results from only one sphere will not be considered. Field studies are given priority over laboratory studies. The total environment is studied when data are collected and described from these five spheres. By definition total environment studies must be multidisciplinary.
Examples of data from the five spheres are given below:
Subject areas may include, but are not limited to:
• Agriculture, forestry, land use and management
• Air pollution quality and human health
• Contaminant (bio)monitoring and assessment
• Ecosystem services and life cycle assessments
• Ecotoxicology and risk assessment
• Emerging fields including global change and contaminants
• Environmental management and policy
• Environmental remediation
• Environmental sources, processes and global cycling
• Groundwater hydrogeochemistry and modeling
• Human health risk assessment and management
• Nanomaterials in the environment
• Noise in the environment
• Persistent organic pollutants
• Plant science and toxicology
• Remote sensing
• Stress ecology in marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems
• Trace metals and organics in biogeochemical cycles
• Waste and water treatment
The editors discourage submission of papers which describe results from routine surveys or monitoring programs, studies which are local in scope, laboratory experiments, hydroponic or pot studies measuring biochemical/physiological endpoints, food science studies, screening of new plant species for phytoremediation, testing known chemicals in another setting, and experimental studies lacking a testable hypothesis.
The abstract, highlights and conclusions of papers in this journal must contain clear and concise statements as to why the study was done and how readers will benefit from the results. Articles submitted for publication in Science of the Total Environment should establish connections among research findings with implications for environmental quality, ecological health, and/or human health.

Journal of Arid Environments
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-arid-environments/
The Journal of Arid Environments is an international journal publishing original scientific and technical research articles on physical, biological and cultural aspects of arid, semi-arid, and desert environments. As a forum of multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue it addresses research on all aspects of arid environments and their past, present and future use.
Research Areas include:
•Paleoclimate and Paleoenvironments
•Climate and Climate Change
•Hydrological processes and systems
•Geomorphological processes and systems
•Soils (physical and biological aspects)
•Ecology (Plant and Animal Sciences)
•Anthropology and human ecology (archaeology, sociology, ethnobotany, human adaptations,etc. Agriculture Land use grazing, mining, tourism, etc)
•Land use (agronomy, grazing, mining, tourism, etc)
•Conservation (theory, policy, sustainability, economics, heritage)
•Land degradation (desertification) and rehabilitation
•Environmental monitoring and management
