GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY

Global Change Biology exists to promote new understanding of the interface between biological systems and all aspects of environmental change that affects a substantial part of the globe.The journal publishes primary research articles, technical advances, research reviews, commentaries and letters.Global Change Biology defines global change as any consistent trend in the environment - past, present or projected - that affects a substantial part of the globe. Examples include:Rising tropospheric, ozone, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide concentrationsChanging global radiation and stratospheric ozone depletionEcosystem and biome collapseMechanisms of species and ecosystems resilienceContaminant and pollutant impacts of global relevanceBiological adaptations and evolutionary processesManagement in the face of climate changeInvasive speciesUrbanisationWildfireGlobal climate changeBiological sinks and sources of atmospheric trace gasesPerturbations of biogeochemical cyclingLand use change and system connectivityLoss of biodiversityBiological feedback on climate changeBiological mitigation for atmospheric change

全球变化生物学的存在是为了促进对生物系统与影响全球大部分地区的环境变化的所有方面之间的联系的新的理解。该杂志出版主要的研究文章、技术进步、研究综述、评论和信件。全球变化生物学将全球变化定义为环境中任何持续的趋势——过去的、现在的或预测的——影响全球相当大一部分地区。例子包括:对流层、臭氧、二氧化碳和二氧化硫浓度上升不断变化的全球辐射和平流层臭氧损耗生态系统和生物群落崩溃物种和生态系统恢复力的机制污染物与污染物影响的全球相关性生物适应和进化过程应对气候变化的管理外来入侵物种城市化进程野火全球气候变化生物汇和大气微量气体的来源生物地球化学循环的扰动土地利用变化与系统互联互通生物多样性的丧失气候变化的生物反馈大气变化的生物缓解
