Over the years of the journal's existence, 59 issues have been published, 1280 scientific articles have been published in them - both venerable authors and talented young researchers.

This was reported by Professor Tamara Ashikhmina, the initiator, permanent inspirer and editor-in-chief of the journal Theoretical and Applied Ecology. “An amazing person”, “a person-epoch”, “soul, heart, wings, fiery engine of the magazine” - this is how the host of the evening Nadezhda Viktorovna Syrchina, a like-minded person and for many years her colleague at work not only in a scientific publication, but and at the Department of Fundamental Chemistry and Methods of Teaching Chemistry of Vyatka State University, Research Laboratory of Biomonitoring of Vyatka State University and the Institute of Biology of the Komi Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
