Global Change Biology Bioenergy

GCB生物能源是一种国际期刊，发表原始研究论文、评论文章和评论，促进对生物和环境科学之间的联系以及直接从植物、藻类和废物中生产燃料的理解。该杂志的范围扩展到生物学以外的领域，包括政策论坛、社会经济分析、技术经济分析和系统分析。论文不需要一个全球变化的组成部分来考虑出版，这被认为是隐含的，大多数生物能源将有利于避免至少一部分化石燃料能源，否则将被使用。期刊涵盖的主要领域：生物能源原料和生物油生产：能源作物和藻类的管理、基因组学、遗传改良、种植、收获、储存、运输、综合物流、生产建模、组成及其改良、原料的病虫草。关于基于生物模拟的替代能源的手稿也受到鼓励（例如人工光合作用）。生物残留物/副产品：来自农业生产、林业和种植园（炉灶、糖、生物塑料等）、藻类加工工业和市政来源（MSW）。生物能源与环境：生态系统服务、碳减排、土地利用变化、生命周期评估、能源与温室气体平衡、用水、水质、可持续性评估和生物多样性问题。生物能源社会经济学：检查作物、作物系统及其加工的经济可行性或社会可接受性，包括转基因生物[转基因生物]，生物能源系统对健康的影响。生物能源政策：影响生物燃料和生物能源的立法进展。生物能源系统分析：在整个系统背景下检查生物发展。从基因发现和作物原料遗传学到生物燃料生产操作的系统分析和全球预测，研究可能涉及各个层次的组织。它们可能是实验性的、观测性的或理论性的，可能涉及高等植物和藻类系统、生物模拟、生物技术、生态系统服务、环境影响和/或整个生产系统分析。该期刊不接受仅关注生物质能转化为燃料的物理化学进展的论文，例如生物质能锅炉的设计或生物质能转化为燃料的热化学转化，除非这些是完整系统分析的一部分。

GCB Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers, review articles and commentaries that promote understanding of the interface between biological and environmental sciences and the production of fuels directly from plants, algae and waste. The scope of the journal extends to areas outside of biology to policy forum, socioeconomic analyses, technoeconomic analyses and systems analysis. Papers do not need a global change component for consideration for publication, it is viewed as implicit that most bioenergy will be beneficial in avoiding at least a part of the fossil fuel energy that would otherwise be used.Key areas covered by the journal:Bioenergy feedstock and bio-oil production: energy crops and algae their management,, genomics, genetic improvements, planting, harvesting, storage, transportation, integrated logistics, production modeling, composition and its modification, pests, diseases and weeds of feedstocks. Manuscripts concerning alternative energy based on biological mimicry are also encouraged (e.g. artificial photosynthesis).Biological Residues/Co-products: from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (stover, sugar, bio-plastics, etc.), algae processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW).Bioenergy and the Environment: ecosystem services, carbon mitigation, land use change, life cycle assessment, energy and greenhouse gas balances, water use, water quality, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.Bioenergy Socioeconomics: examining the economic viability or social acceptability of crops, crops systems and their processing, including genetically modified organisms [GMOs], health impacts of bioenergy systems.Bioenergy Policy: legislative developments affecting biofuels and bioenergy.Bioenergy Systems Analysis: examining biological developments in a whole systems context.Studies may be at all levels of organization from gene discovery and crop feedstock genetics to systems analysis of biofuel production operations and global projections. They may be experimental, observational or theoretical, and may concern higher plant and algal systems, biological mimicry, biotechnology, ecosystem services, environmental impacts and / or whole production system analysis.The journal does not accept papers that solely concern advances in the physico-chemical conversion of biomass to fuels, for example design of biomass boilers or thermochemical conversion of biomass to fuels, unless these are part of analysis of a complete system.
