Aquatic Ecology and Water Quality Management for Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce a new Special Issue “Aquatic Ecology and Water Quality Management for Sustainability” of the journal Sustainability.

Aquatic ecosystems provide important ecological services, such as regulating the climate, purifying water, providing habitats for aquatic life, and supporting human activities. In recent decades, aquatic ecosystems have faced serious threats such as water pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change impact, which cause water quality deterioration and biodiversity loss and adversely impact ecological service. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the protection and remediation of aquatic ecosystems through scientific management practices and engineering measures. Thus, this Special Issue aims to bring together research papers that address those related issues, providing new insights and solutions for the aquatic ecosystems facing various challenges. We invite original research articles and critical reviews on topics related (but not limited) to:

• Monitoring and assessment of aquatic ecosystem health;
• Technologies and strategies for water quality improvement;
• Eutrophication treatment and cyanobacteria bloom control;
• The influence of environmental factors on aquatic organisms and their habitats;
• Structure and ecological function of aquatic ecosystems;
• Environmental behavior and ecological effects of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems.
