《湖泊和水庫管理》(LRM)發(fā)表了與湖泊和水庫管理相關(guān)的原創(chuàng)、以前未發(fā)表的研究。論文論述了湖泊和水庫的管理，它們的流域和支流，以及這些系統(tǒng)健全管理所需要的湖沼學(xué)和生態(tài)學(xué)。只要有明確的管理意義，促進湖泊管理科學(xué)或確認重要管理概念的案例研究是適當(dāng)?shù)摹g迎關(guān)于湖泊管理的經(jīng)濟、社會、管理和政策方面的論文，并提供適當(dāng)?shù)闹С謹?shù)據(jù)和管理方面的影響。將考慮出版關(guān)于湖泊和流域生態(tài)概念基礎(chǔ)的文獻綜合和論文，但需要明確強調(diào)管理方面的影響。在模型得到適當(dāng)驗證的地方，將考慮建模文檔，但是基于模型的管理和結(jié)果已被記錄下來也是非常可取的。將已知的模型應(yīng)用到另一個系統(tǒng)中，而在結(jié)果管理方面沒有明顯的進展，這是不太可能被接受的。較短的筆記傳達長期研究的重要早期結(jié)果，或提供有關(guān)病原體或管理方法的數(shù)據(jù)，以保證進一步研究是可以接受的，即使故事尚未完成。所有提交的文件都要經(jīng)過同行評審，以確保管理應(yīng)用的相關(guān)性和可靠性。所有提交的內(nèi)容和格式應(yīng)嚴格遵循作者的指導(dǎo)。LRM論文涉及的典型研究領(lǐng)域包括:在管理需要和/或努力的范圍內(nèi)評估湖泊資源、利用和威脅監(jiān)控方法或程序及其對管理的影響入侵動植物的生態(tài)學(xué)和管理藻類的生態(tài)學(xué)和管理，特別是有害藻類的繁殖漁業(yè)管理，特別是在湖泊和水庫恢復(fù)的范圍內(nèi)評價湖內(nèi)管理方法和影響評價基于流域的管理方法和影響水生系統(tǒng)的建模，其中模型結(jié)果已用于管理決策和優(yōu)選應(yīng)用湖泊管理的社會和經(jīng)濟層面LRM致力于水資源管理的科學(xué)、經(jīng)濟、社會監(jiān)管和規(guī)劃方面。LRM的功能是記錄湖泊管理的進展，并為湖泊管理者、研究人員和政策制定者提供資源。論文必須展示與湖泊管理的相關(guān)性，將研究結(jié)果與現(xiàn)有知識相結(jié)合，應(yīng)用合理的研究設(shè)計和數(shù)據(jù)分析，并清晰而簡明地傳達重要信息。

Lake and Reservoir Management (LRM) publishes original, previously unpublished studies relevant to lake and reservoir management. Papers address the management of lakes and reservoirs, their watersheds and tributaries, along with the limnology and ecology needed for sound management of these systems. Case studies that advance the science of lake management or confirm important management concepts are appropriate as long as there is clearly described management significance. Papers on economic, social, regulatory and policy aspects of lake management are also welcome with appropriate supporting data and management implications. Literature syntheses and papers developing a conceptual foundation of lake and watershed ecology will be considered for publication, but there needs to be clear emphasis on management implications. Modeling papers will be considered where the model is properly verified but it is also highly preferable that management based on the model has been taken and results have been documented. Application of known models to yet another system without a clear advance in resultant management are unlikely to be accepted. Shorter notes that convey important early results of long-term studies or provide data relating to causative agents or management approaches that warrant further study are acceptable even if the story is not yet complete. All submissions are subject to peer review to assure relevance and reliability for management application. All submissions should strictly follow the guidance to authors for content and format. Typical areas of study addressed in LRM papers include:Assessment of lake resources, uses, and threats within the context of management needs and/or effortsMonitoring methods or programs and their implications for managementEcology and management of invasive plant or animal speciesEcology and management of algae, especially harmful algae bloomsFishery management, especially within the context of lake and reservoir rehabilitationEvaluation of in-lake management approaches and impactsEvaluation of watershed-based management approaches and impactsModeling of aquatic systems where the model results have been used in management decisions and preferably applicationsSocial and economic dimensions of lake managementLRM addresses scientific, economic, social regulatory, and programmatic aspects of water resource management. LRM functions as a record of advances in lake management and a resource for lake managers, researchers and policy makers. Papers must demonstrate relevance to lake management, integrate findings with current knowledge, apply sound study design and data analysis, and convey an important message clearly and concisely.
