# Global Biogeochemical Cycles (global-biogeochemical-cycles)

## Journal positioning

Global Biogeochemical Cycles (GBC) is the American Geophysical Union's journal for the
**cycling of carbon, nutrients, and elements through the earth system**: the fluxes,
budgets, and feedbacks that move and transform elements across land, ocean, and atmosphere,
constrained by observations, experiments, and models. The defining expectation is a
**quantitative, system-scale advance in biogeochemistry** — a better-constrained flux or
budget, a newly characterized feedback, or a mechanism operating at regional-to-global scale
— not a site-level process measurement of interest mainly to one community. A descriptive
local incubation, a single-station time series, or an ecological/soil study with no
implication for an element budget or earth-system feedback is a weak fit. This skill is a
**fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current
