gcb-figures-and-tables

Use when building figures, tables, and the mandatory graphical abstract for a Global Change Biology (GCB) manuscript. GCB rewards mechanism-first, self-contained, accessible exhibits and requires a graphical abstract depicting the driver-to-response link. Guides exhibit design; it does not invent data.

# Figures & Tables (gcb-figures-and-tables)

In GCB, exhibits carry the **mechanism**. The strongest papers show a clear **driver → biological
response** relationship in the main figures, with uncertainty visible. GCB also **requires a graphical
abstract** that depicts the mechanistic link (not a site map or phylogeny). Verify current figure specs
on the live guidelines page before submission.

## When to trigger

- Designing the main-figure sequence to tell the mechanistic story
- Building the **graphical abstract**
- Preparing maps, flux/time-series, dose-response, or forest plots
- Checking accessibility, resolution, and self-containment before submission
