Journal of Geophysical Research-Biogeosciences

JGR: Biogeosciences focuses on biogeosciences of the Earth system in the past, present, and future and the extension of this research to planetary studies. The emerging field of biogeosciences spans the intellectual interface between biology and the geosciences and attempts to understand the functions of the Earth system across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Studies in biogeosciences may use multiple lines of evidence drawn from diverse fields to gain a holistic understanding of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems and extreme environments. Specific topics within the scope of the section include process-based theoretical, experimental, and field studies of biogeochemistry, biogeophysics, atmosphere-, land-, and ocean-ecosystem interactions, biomineralization, life in extreme environments, astrobiology, microbial processes, geomicrobiology, and evolutionary geobiology.

JGR:生物地球科学关注地球系统过去、现在和未来的生物地球科学，并将这项研究扩展到行星研究。生物地球科学的新兴领域跨越了生物学和地球科学之间的智力界面，并试图了解地球系统在多个时空尺度上的功能。生物地球科学的研究可以使用来自不同领域的多种证据来全面了解陆地、淡水、海洋生态系统和极端环境。本节范围内的具体主题包括基于过程的生物地球化学、生物地球物理学、大气、陆地和海洋生态系统相互作用、生物矿化、极端环境中的生命、天体生物学、微生物过程、地球微生物学和进化地球生物学的理论、实验和现场研究。
