Aims and Scope
Our natural world is experiencing a state of rapid change unprecedented in the presence of humans. The changes affect virtually all physical, chemical and biological systems on Earth. The interaction of these systems leads to tipping points, feedbacks and amplification of effects. In virtually all cases, the causes of environmental change can be traced to human activity through either direct interventions as a consequence of pollution, or through global warming from greenhouse case emissions. Well-formulated and internationally-relevant policies to mitigate the change, or adapt to the consequences, that will ensure our ability to thrive in the coming decades are badly needed. Without proper understanding of the processes involved, and deep understanding of the likely impacts of bad decisions or inaction, the security of food, water and energy is a risk. Left unchecked shortages of these basic commodities will lead to migration, global geopolitical tension and conflict. This represents the major challenge of our time. We are the first generation to appreciate the problem and we will be judged in future by our ability to determine and take the action necessary. Appropriate knowledge of the condition of our natural world, appreciation of the changes occurring, and predictions of how the future will develop are requisite to the definition and implementation of solutions.
Frontiers in Environmental Science publishes research at the cutting edge of knowledge of our natural world and its various intersections with society. It bridges between the identification and measurement of change, comprehension of the processes responsible, and the measures needed to reduce their impact. Its aim is to assist the formulation of policies, by offering sound scientific evidence on environmental science, that will lead to a more inhabitable and sustainable world for the generations to come.

Verified Reviews
9.5 Initial Validation
9.6 Assigned to Editor and Entered Independent Review
9.15 Email notification that the interactive review has been activated, which means the modification phase. Two reviewers provided their opinions mainly focusing on the relevance between the conclusion and the data, the scientificity of data analysis, and language editing, etc. Positive opinions accounted for 70% and negative opinions accounted for 30%. The reviewers' comments were fair. Thumbs up to the journal! ?
9.23 Resubmission (Delayed the submission by one day. The editorial department requested submission by 9.22, but due to time constraints, it was postponed by a day. During this time, the journal sent a reminder email.)
Currently waiting for the results. Will update in a timely manner!! So far, the progress has been fast. The journal team has already accepted three papers this year. It is very formal, with a transparent process, and the impact factor has exceeded 5! It's worth celebrating, and it is expected to increase next year. Currently, there are still some alternative topics being prepared for submission. If anyone wants to consult the details, feel free to add me～～～
The first submission only received a response from one reviewer, so additional reviewers were invited later, resulting in a slightly longer review period. However, the journal's editorial team responded quickly. Once the journal received the reviewer's feedback, they immediately notified the authors, allowing them to start revising before the revision system was opened, greatly reducing the revision time.
