《碳平衡與管理》致力于發(fā)表與理解全球碳循環(huán)有關(guān)的原創(chuàng)研究，以及測量、分析和審查該領(lǐng)域主題的方法。這包括研究碳池和通量的時空分布、碳-氣候系統(tǒng)的控制和反饋機制以及管理碳-氣候-人類系統(tǒng)的干預(yù)點。該期刊支持政府間氣候變化專門委員會(IPCC)的工作，為政府和非政府組織提供即時獲取當(dāng)代知識的途徑，包括范式轉(zhuǎn)變和共識觀點。

Carbon Balance and Management is dedicated to publishing original research related to the understanding of the global carbon cycle, as well as methodologies for its measurement and analysis and reviews of topics within the field. This includes studies of spatial and temporal distributions of carbon pools and fluxes, control and feedback mechanisms of the carbon-climate system and points of intervention for managing the carbon-climate-human system. The journal supports the work of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) by providing governmental and non-governmental organizations with instantaneous access to contemporary knowledge, including paradigm shifts and consensual views.
