Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem processes across various environments. Studies investigate carbon cycling, greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O), and their regulation by factors like nutrient availability, vegetation changes, and hydrological conditions. Research also explores microbial communities in subsurface environments and the impact of environmental changes on ecosystem functions and carbon storage.
