SPEPS収録論文

The biosphere composed of diverse marine and terrestrial ecosystems is a unique component of the Earth system. It plays crucial roles in regulating surface physical and chemical processes from molecular to the global scales, and affects the Earth’s climate through energy, water, and trace gas exchange with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. Recent progress in research technologies such as eco-genomics, hyper-fine remote sensing, and big-data analysis provides new insights into the biosphere, allowing us to develop an integrated system called the ‘Digital Biosphere’. In this special issue SPEPS, we invite authors to contribute a broad spectrum of studies on the biosphere, spanning laboratory experiments, field study, data analysis, and model simulation. Various studies on plant, animal, microbe, water and nutrient cycles, and ecosystems dynamics, are welcome. Also, studies on ecosystem management and nature-based solutions for global environmental change are within the scope. In addition to original studies including novel findings, submissions of synthesis works from interdisciplinary, multi-scale, and human-nature interactive, perspectives on the biosphere are welcome.
