Ambio - Read and Share influential articles published during the 2010s
We also celebrated the diversity of influential articles published over the past 10 years, i.e. from the time of Ambio's transition to Springer Nature. We perused all of the 1212 Ambio papers published from January 2010 to December 2019 and selected some of the most innovative and important ones, while at the same time avoiding overlap with the thematic articles of the 50th Anniversary Collection.
We promoted one article per week by including the
