Journal Title：Carbon Balance And Management

Carbon Balance and Management is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that encompasses all aspects of research aimed at developing a comprehensive policy relevant to the understanding of the global carbon cycle.

The global carbon cycle involves important couplings between climate, atmospheric CO2 and the terrestrial and oceanic biospheres. The current transformation of the carbon cycle due to changes in climate and atmospheric composition is widely recognized as potentially dangerous for the biosphere and for the well-being of humankind, and therefore monitoring, understanding and predicting the evolution of the carbon cycle in the context of the whole biosphere (both terrestrial and marine) is a challenge to the scientific community.

This demands interdisciplinary research and new approaches for studying geographical and temporal distributions of carbon pools and fluxes, control and feedback mechanisms of the carbon-climate system, points of intervention and windows of opportunity for managing the carbon-climate-human system.

Carbon Balance and Management is a medium for researchers in the field to convey the results of their research across disciplinary boundaries. Through this dissemination of research, the journal aims to support the work of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) and to provide governmental and non-governmental organizations with instantaneous access to continually emerging knowledge, including paradigm shifts and consensual views.

《碳平衡與管理》是一本開放獲取、同行評審的在線期刊，涵蓋了旨在制定與理解全球碳循環相關的綜合政策的所有研究方面。

全球碳循環涉及氣候、大氣 CO2 以及陸地和海洋生物圈之間的重要耦合。目前由于氣候和大氣成分的變化而導致的碳循環轉變被廣泛認為對生物圈和人類福祉具有潛在危險，因此監測、了解和預測整個生物圈（陸地和海洋）背景下碳循環的演變對科學界來說是一個挑戰。

這需要跨學科研究和新方法來研究碳庫和碳通量的地理和時間分布、碳-氣候系統的控制和反饋機制、干預點和管理碳-氣候-人類系統的機會窗口。

《碳平衡與管理》是該領域研究人員跨學科傳播研究成果的媒介。通過傳播研究成果，該期刊旨在支持政府間氣候變化專門委員會 (IPCC) 的工作，并為政府和非政府組織提供即時獲取不斷涌現的知識（包括范式轉變和共識觀點）的渠道。

Carbon Balance And Management創刊于2006年，由Springer International Publishing出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋Environmental Science - Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 14 Weeks ，影響因子指數3.9，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
