Environmental Microbiology (EM)
Journal Descriptions
Environmental Microbiology is a well-established, peer-reviewed scientific journal that has been published monthly since 1999 by Wiley-Blackwell. The journal focuses on fundamental and applied aspects of microbial ecology and biology in the environment. It disseminates original research on microbial interactions, population dynamics, community structure, metabolic processes, and adaptations in diverse ecosystems — including soil, aquatic, atmospheric, and built environments. Research topics span microbial responses to environmental change, nutrient cycling, biogeochemical processes, host–microbe interactions, microbial contributions to ecosystem function, and impacts of pollutants or climate factors on microbial communities. The journal also welcomes interdisciplinary work integrating molecular biology, genomics, metagenomics, and bioinformatics to elucidate mechanisms driving microbial behavior and ecosystem processes. Its broad scope attracts contributions from scientists in microbiology, ecology, environmental science, biotechnology, and related fields. Environmental Microbiology serves as an authoritative platform for scholars aiming to understand and predict microbial roles in environmental health, sustainability, and ecosystem resilience. With a monthly publication schedule, robust editorial oversight, and high visibility across global indexing services, the journal supports rapid dissemination of high-quality research that advances both theory and practice in environmental microbiology.
