I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.

Scott F Heron

My research experience has spanned over 20 years and has focused on understanding coastal and near-shore environmental physical processes. Each of these research areas has involved the synthesis of physical information with the biological and/or chemical characteristics of the environment through the development of environmental and ecological models. In each of these areas I have published the work in international journals. For several years of this period, I taught physics at universities in Australia and the USA and created courses in environmental physics.

Robert J Hijmans

Robert Hijmans is a professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, Davis. Prior to joining UC Davis, he held positions at the International Potato Center (Peru), the International Rice Research Institute (Philippines) and at the UC Berkeley Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. His research focuses on spatial data analysis in biodiversity, agriculture, and health, and he has developed widely used software and databases to support such work. He has a PhD in Production Ecology from Wageningen University (Netherlands).

Christian Hof

Junior Research Group Leader at Technical University of Munich, Germany. Before: researcher at the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre, Frankfurt. PhD from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Diploma (M.Sc.) from Philipps-University Marburg, Germany. Member of the German Young Academy; German Representative of the International Biogeography Society.

Julie A Hope

Research fellow at the University of Auckland, NZ working on the effects of various anthropogenic stressors on soft sediment benthic ecosystem function.

Cho-ying Huang

Cho-ying Huang is a professor in the Department of Geography at National Taiwan University. His research interests include global ecology, terrestrial biogeochemistry and remote sensing of the environment.

Saddam Hussain

Dr. Saddam Hussain is working as Associate Professor in the area of Plant Stress Physiology at the Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. He has been recognized with several international distinctions/awards in recent years. He published over 150 refereed journal papers, many of which have sought to understand the morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular basis of crop responses to individual and concurrent abiotic stresses and mechanisms imparting tolerance for such stresses. He devised promising strategies for improving the crop performance under sub-optimum conditions (salinity, drought, submergence, temperature extremes, metal toxicity) and suggested various novel indicators for augmenting stress tolerance in plants. Currently, he is working as Editor/Editorial board member of various international journals including Journal of Advanced Research (Q1, Elsevier), Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety (Q1, Elsevier), Journal of Plant Growth Regulation (Q1, Springer), Food and Energy Security (Q1, Wiley), Crop Science (Q1, Wiley), BMC Plant Biology (Q1, Springer), PLOS One (Q1, USA), Plants (Q1, MDPI), Sustainability (MDPI), International Journal of Agronomy (Hindawi), Applied Environmental and Soil Science (Hindawi), Frontiers in Agronomy, Frontiers in Soil Science, Plant Science Today, and Planta Daninha.

Rodolfo Jaffé

I`m interested in inter-disciplinary approaches, comprising population and community ecology, genomics and spatial statistics, to understand how the alteration of natural habitats influences biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services.

Magnus L Johnson

I am a marine scientist with eclectic interests including crustacean biology and fisheries, fisheries management generally, krill swimming behaviour, cleaner fish, coral reef systems, the relationship of marine commensals and their hosts and the eyes of shrimps. I work in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Hull where I am the Director of the MSc in Environmental Change Management and Monitoring. I am a fellow of the Marine Biological Association and a board member of the Science-Art foundation "Invisible Dust".

David W Johnston

Dave Johnston is a biological oceanographer and marine conservation ecologist whose research focuses on the habitat needs of marine vertebrates in relation to pressing conservation issues.

Dr. Gandhiv Kafle

Dr. Gandhiv Kafle is an Ecologist and Associate Professor in the Faculty of Forestry at the Agriculture and Forestry University, Nepal.

His research interests include forestry, watershed management and ecology.

Mykola Karabiniuk

I am the Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Geography for educational and methodological work of Uzhhorod National University. I work as an Associate professor of the Department of Physical Geography and Efficient Environmental Management. The scientific degree PhD (Geography) with a specialty in physical geography, geophysics and geochemistry of landscapes was awarded for the defense of a dissertation at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, which is devoted to the features of landscape organization and the efficiency of using the highlands of the Chornogora massif of the Ukrainian Carpathians.
I specialize in landscape diversity and evolutionary development of mountain systems, mapping and geoinformation analysis of the structure and properties of geocomplexes to determine the geoecological situation, as well as the problems of anthroposis of landscapes and efficient use of nature. For scientific achievements in the field of geoecology and the applied significance of the results of the study of the highlands of the Ukrainian Carpathians to solve environmental problems of the Danube region in 2021 I was awarded the Danubius Young Scientist Award. I am also a full member of the Ukrainian Geographical Society.
