Global Change Biology (global-change-biology)
Journal positioning
Global Change Biology is the Wiley journal for the biological and ecological responses of the living world to global change — climate warming, elevated CO2, altered precipitation, nitrogen deposition, land-use and land-cover change, and their interactions. Its defining expectation is a clear global-change driver coupled to rigorous biological evidence: a study that links an explicit global-change forcing to a biological or ecological response, with mechanism or consequence resolved from the molecular to the ecosystem scale. A local ecology, physiology, or biogeochemistry study with no global-change driver or framing is a weak fit, however well executed. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Global Change Biology submission guidance.
