Estimated stocks of circumpolar permafrost carbon with quantified uncertainty ranges and identified data gaps

Gustaf Hugelius, Jens Strauß, Sebastian Zubrzycki et al. · 1 Dec 2014

Abstract. Soils and other unconsolidated deposits in the northern circumpolar permafrost region store large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC). This SOC is potentially vulnerable to remobilization following soil warming and permafrost thaw, but SOC stock estimates were poorly constrained and quantitative error estimates were lacking. This study presents revised estimates of permafrost SOC stocks,…

Major role of marine vegetation on the oceanic carbon cycle

Carlos M. Duarte, Jack J. Middelburg, N. F. Caraco · 1 Feb 2005

Abstract. The carbon burial in vegetated sediments, ignored in past assessments of carbon burial in the ocean, was evaluated using a bottom-up approach derived from upscaling a compilation of published individual estimates of carbon burial in vegetated habitats (seagrass meadows, salt marshes and mangrove forests) to the global level and a top-down approach derived from…

Multiple stressors of ocean ecosystems in the 21st century: projections with CMIP5 models

Laurent Bopp, Laure Resplandy, James C. Orr et al. · 2 Oct 2013

Abstract. Ocean ecosystems are increasingly stressed by human-induced changes of their physical, chemical and biological environment. Among these changes, warming, acidification, deoxygenation and changes in primary productivity by marine phytoplankton can be considered as four of the major stressors of open ocean ecosystems. Due to rising atmospheric CO2 in the coming decades, these changes will…

Towards a standardized processing of Net Ecosystem Exchange measured with eddy covariance technique: algorithms and uncertainty estimation

Dario Papale, Markus Reichstein, Marc Aubinet et al. · 27 Nov 2006

Abstract. Eddy covariance technique to measure CO2, water and energy fluxes between biosphere and atmosphere is widely spread and used in various regional networks. Currently more than 250 eddy covariance sites are active around the world measuring carbon exchange at high temporal resolution for different biomes and climatic conditions. In this paper a new standardized…

Biomass burning emissions estimated with a global fire assimilation system based on observed fire radiative power

Johannes W. Kaiser, Angelika Heil, Meinrat O. Andreae et al. · 27 Jan 2012

Abstract. The Global Fire Assimilation System (GFASv1.0) calculates biomass burning emissions by assimilating Fire Radiative Power (FRP) observations from the MODIS instruments onboard the Terra and Aqua satellites. It corrects for gaps in the observations, which are mostly due to cloud cover, and filters spurious FRP observations of volcanoes, gas flares and other industrial activity.…

Biogeosciences template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biogeosciences format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biogeosciences template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Copernicus Publications format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biogeosciences use?
Biogeosciences uses Author–year (Copernicus) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B., and Lee, C.: A representative article title, Biogeosciences, 12, 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biogeosciences?
No. DocuGuru generates the copernicus LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Copernicus Publications-ready Biogeosciences document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biogeosciences template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biogeosciences format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Biogeosciences?
Copernicus Publications journal. It is a earth and environmental sciences journal, published by Copernicus Publications.
Can I export a submission-ready Biogeosciences PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biogeosciences template (the copernicus class) that is ready to submit to Copernicus Publications, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biogeosciences template cost?
You can start writing in the Biogeosciences template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biogeosciences PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
