在本文中，我们介绍了《应用生态学杂志》的第一个专题，集中讨论了社会科学与生态学的关系。我们报告了一项对从事跨学科研究的生态学家的调查，以了解他们如何选择社会科学合作伙伴。在介绍这些研究论文时，我们探讨了它们揭示了社会科学家和生态学家之间合作的共同分析方法和方法的发展，以及人类在应用生态学中的各种角色。生态学是一门兼而有之的学科——既广泛又外向。它一直对其他自然科学的模型和方法开放，并集中关注人类活动与环境之间的关系。因此，通过他们的培训和展望，许多生态学家渴望进行跨学科合作。然而，在生态学作为一门有组织的科学存在的一个世纪里，它的大多数明确的交流都是与自然科学进行的。尽管应用生态学的最终目标是设计生态系统中的人类干预措施，并产生环境和社会价值的结果，但直到最近，与社会科学的合作一直受到限制。越来越多地，由于研究复杂环境问题的需要或资金的紧急情况，生态学家不得不与社会科学家就环境管理的社会和人类层面进行合作。特别简介汇集了英国有史以来最大的生态学家和社会科学家研究合作的文章选择-研究委员会的农村经济和土地利用计划（RELU）。生态学家和其他40多个学科的科学家一起，是RELU最大的科学家群体。他们占了450多名研究人员的四分之一。在其29个大型研究项目中，有22个项目(范围从？0 - 3 ?100万)具有生态维度。其中7个由生态学家领导。RELU项目提供了一个机会来反思应用生态学家与社会科学家跨学科合作的经验，以及可能采取的不同形式。该方案没有规定跨学科合作的具体形式，只规定每个项目
In this paper, we introduce the first Special Profile of Journal of Applied Ecology to concentrate on the relationship between social sciences and ecology. We report on a survey of ecologists engaged in interdisciplinary research to see how they navigated their choice of social science partners. In introducing the research papers, we explore what they reveal about the development of common analytical methods and approaches for collabora tion between social scientists and ecologists, as well as various roles of humans in applied ecology. Ecology is a portmanteau discipline-broad and outward looking. It has always been open to models and methods from other natural sciences, and centrally concerned with the relations between human action and the environment.Through their training and outlook, therefore, many ecologists aspire to cross-disciplinary collaboration. However, during ecology's century of existence as an organized science, most of its explicit exchanges have been with natural sciences. Although applied ecology aims ultimately to design human interventions in ecological systems and produce outcomes of both environmental and social value, collaboration with the social sciences has been limited until recently. Increasingly, through the demands of studying complex environmental problems or the exigencies of funding, ecologists have to work with social scientists on the social and human dimensions of environmental management. The Special Profile brings together a selection of articles from the largest research collaboration of ecologists and social scientists ever mounted in the UK-the Research Councils' Rural Economy and Land Use Programme (RELU). Ecologists are the largest grouping of scientists in RELU, alongside over 40 other disciplines. They represent a quarter of the more than 450 researchers. Twenty-two out of 29 of its large research projects (ranging from? 0-3 to? 1 million) have an ecological dimension. Seven are led by ecologists. The RELU programme provides an opportunity to reflect on applied ecologists' experience of interdisciplinary working with social scientists and the different forms it may take. This programme did not prescribe the specific form of interdisciplinary collaboration, only that each project
