The journal publishes original, previously unpublished research reports, reviews and commentaries on various aspects of the boreal environment and its natural resources, in particular: environmental problems, their assessment, understanding and solving, as well as the sustainable use of natural resources. Boreal is interpreted in a wide sense, i.e. including northern polar, subpolar and hemiboreal conditions, biomes or ecosystems. The journal is a forum for emphasizing a holistic approach in environmental sciences, linking pressures via sources of pollution to the impacts on the environment through the processes occurring in various media. Articles dealing with monitoring, experimental, theoretical and modelling studies as well as their combinations are all welcome.
