Aims & Scope

Biogeochemistry Research is a peer-reviewed open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research advances, critical reviews, and perspective articles in the field of biogeochemistry (the cycles, fluxes, and transformations of elements), with a primary focus on carbon and nitrogen cycling. The journal aims to bridge fundamental mechanistic studies and applied environmental solutions, covering a broad range of spatial and temporal scales—from molecular processes to global ecosystems.

Specific subjects of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Atmospheric Deposition and Impacts: Chemical inputs to terrestrial and aquatic systems, nutrient fluxes, and their ecological consequences.
  • Air Quality and Air Pollution Control: Interactions between atmospheric chemistry, ecosystem health, and mitigation strategies.
  • Eutrophication and Water Pollution Control: Nutrient-driven alterations in aquatic systems, legacy pollution, and restoration approaches.
  • Soil Nutrient Cycling and Management: Dynamics of elemental transformations, soil-plant-microbe interactions, and sustainable land-use practices.
  • New Pollutants and Their Transformations: Emerging contaminants (e.g., microplastics, pharmaceuticals) in environmental matrices and their biogeochemical behavior.
  • Ecosystems and Environmental Impacts of Global Changes: Responses of biogeochemical cycles to climate change, land-use shifts, and biodiversity loss.
  • Tools, Syntheses & Theory: Development and application of novel analytical, observational, computational, and modeling frameworks; integrative synthesis; and advances in theoretical biogeochemistry.

The journal welcomes interdisciplinary studies integrating experimental, observational, modeling, and theoretical approaches. It also encourages submissions highlighting policy implications or technological innovations for managing biogeochemical challenges. Special sections for Rapid Communications and Synthesis Articles will enable timely dissemination of groundbreaking ideas and integrative perspectives.
