About the Journal

The Journal of Biogeography and Climate Science (JBCS) is an international peer-reviewed open access journal published by Aidoo Academic Press Ltd (United Kingdom). The journal publishes high-quality research advancing understanding of how climatic, atmospheric, and environmental processes shape biodiversity, ecosystems, and species distributions across terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, and marine systems.

JBCS promotes interdisciplinary research integrating biogeography, ecology, climatology, meteorology, environmental modelling, and geospatial science to address environmental change, climate risks, and ecosystem resilience. All articles undergo rigorous peer review and are published under a continuous publication model to ensure rapid global dissemination of scientific knowledge.

Scope of the Journal

JBCS is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing research at the interface of biogeography, ecology, climatology, meteorology, and environmental change science. The journal provides a platform for studies investigating how atmospheric, climatic, hydrological, and environmental processes shape the spatial and temporal dynamics of biodiversity, ecosystems, species distributions, ecological interactions, and environmental risks across terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, and marine systems.

The journal particularly welcomes interdisciplinary studies integrating ecological theory with modern quantitative and computational approaches, including mechanistic and process-based models, statistical and hybrid ecological frameworks, climate attribution science, ecological forecasting, artificial intelligence, machine learning, geospatial analytics, remote sensing, Earth observation, environmental informatics, and spatial epidemiology. Contributions exploring interactions among climate variability, extreme weather events, land-use change, environmental degradation, and biological systems are especially encouraged.

JBCS aims to bridge traditionally separated disciplines by promoting integrative approaches that improve understanding, prediction, and management of ecological and environmental systems under rapidly changing climatic conditions. The journal is interested in studies ranging from macroecology, conservation biogeography, hydroclimatic ecology, and ecological resilience to climate-sensitive infectious diseases, vector ecology, One Health systems, atmospheric-ecological interactions, and environmental risk intelligence. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
    • ecological and historical biogeography,
    • meteorological and climatic drivers of biodiversity,
    • climate change impacts on ecosystems and species distributions,
    • mechanistic and statistical ecological modelling,
    • climate attribution and counterfactual environmental analysis,
    • ecological forecasting and early warning systems,
    • environmental and climate-risk mapping,
    • vector-borne and climate-sensitive diseases,
    • hydroclimatic and freshwater ecology,
    • Ecosystem services and natural capital under climate change,
    • AI-driven environmental intelligence,
    • remote sensing and geospatial analytics,
    • Urban climate, urban ecology, and heat island effects,
    • Earth system feedbacks and global change dynamics,
    • Marine and coastal ecosystem dynamics under climate change,
    • Cryosphere–biosphere interactions (glaciers, permafrost, polar ecology),
    • ecological informatics and digital ecology,
    • environmental extremes and ecosystem responses,
    • land-atmosphere interactions,
    • conservation and adaptation science,
    • spatial epidemiology and One Health applications.
The journal strongly encourages reproducible, interpretable, and operational science that supports climate adaptation, ecosystem management, biodiversity conservation, public health preparedness, and environmental policy. In addition to original research articles, the journal welcomes reviews, perspectives, methodological papers, short communications, data papers, computational workflows, and interdisciplinary synthesis studies that advance next-generation environmental and biogeographical science.

JBCS operates a continuous publication model. Articles are published online immediately after acceptance, production, and author proof approval. The journal publishes articles continuously and compiles them into annual volumes.
