Global Change Biology

Global Change Biology exists to promote understanding of the interface between all aspects of current environmental change and biological systems, including rising tropospheric O3 and CO2 concentrations, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and eutrophication. Topics covered include the following, in the context of biological implications and feedbacks:

• Climate change
• Global change
• Land-use change
• Rising carbon dioxide
• Ocean warming
• Atmospheric pollution
• Carbon sequestration
• Carbon mitigation
• Global food security

Both biological responses and feedbacks to change are included, and may be considered at any level of organization from molecular to biome. Studies which integrate across levels of organization to provide a mechanistic understanding are particularly encouraged. Studies may be experimental, observational or theoretical, and may concern aquatic or terrestrial and managed or natural environments. Global Change Biology concentrates on primary research articles, but operates a flexible policy regarding other submissions, which include Technical Papers, Mini-Reviews and Opinion Articles.
