global-change-biology
separate
Use when targeting Global Change Biology or deciding whether a biology/ecology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the global-change-driver framing and biological-evidence bar, scale and mechanism expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
When to use
- fit/framing check for a global-change ecology or biology paper
- re-framing a local ecological, physiological, or soil/biogeochemical study around an explicit global-change driver
- choosing between Global Change Biology, a general ecology journal, and an earth-system or biogeochemistry venue
- checking the journal's global-change-framing requirement and biological-evidence bar
- assessing responses of organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems to climate change, elevated CO2, warming, drought, and shifting disturbance regimes
- evaluating mechanistic, manipulative experiments, long-term observations, syntheses, and modeling of global-change responses
- reviewing structure and house style for research articles, reviews, syntheses, and shorter formats
- performing an official-submission re-check and pre-submission self-check
When not to use
- replacing the journal's current author guidelines
- local ecology, physiology, or biogeochemistry studies with no global-change driver or framing
