Open Journal System Demo: Nature
Peer-Reviewed Open Access
Advancing open, reproducible research across the natural sciences.
Open Journal System Demo: Nature is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal spanning the natural sciences — from ecology, evolution, and earth science to astronomy and open data. We champion reproducible, transparent research that advances open science for a global community, with rigorous double-anonymised review and no article-processing charges.

Warm-adapted species advanced upslope at a median rate of 3.2 m per year, while cold-specialist cover...
Crop wild relatives harbour allelic diversity lost during domestication. We present a chromosome-scale assembly of a wild cereal, resolving 38,400 protein-coding genes and 11,200 structural variants.
Selection scans identified...
Restored grasslands are promoted as natural climate solutions, but their carbon trajectories are rarely measured directly. We report ten years of continuous flux data from a chronosequence of restoration sites.

The assembly of low-mass galaxies encodes the physics of feedback and reionisation. We obtained deep optical spectroscopy of a nearby dwarf galaxy, decomposing its stellar populations across cosmic time.
The data favour an...
Lakes integrate pollutants from entire catchments, yet microplastic distribution within them is poorly mapped. We sampled surface waters and sediments across a 60 km² lake system.
Particle concentrations scaled with residence...
Whether microbial communities reassemble predictably after disturbance is debated. We tracked soil microbiomes through 18 months of post-fire recovery using shotgun metagenomics.
Community trajectories converged across replicate...
Plant–pollinator networks underpin ecosystem function, but their stability under global change is uncertain. We combined three years of interaction data with simulated perturbations.
Networks tolerated random species removals...
