Biogeosciences

Aims & Scope

Biogeosciences (BG) is a not-for-profit international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of research articles, short communications, and review papers on all aspects of the interactions between the biological, chemical, and physical processes in terrestrial or extraterrestrial life with the geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.

The objective of the journal is to cut across the boundaries of established sciences and achieve an interdisciplinary view of these interactions.

Experimental, conceptual, and modelling approaches are welcome.

With the above objective, Biogeosciences covers the following fields: biodiversity and ecosystem function; evolutionary ecology; environmental microbiology; biogeochemistry and global elemental cycles; biogeochemistry and gas exchange; plant–soil interactions; biomineralization, microbial weathering, and sedimentation; interactions between microbes, organic matter sediments, and rocks; biogeophysics; Earth system sciences and response to global changes; palaeogeobiology, including origin and evolution of life, evolution of the biosphere, sedimentary records, and the development and use of proxies; astrobiology and exobiology.
