Carbon Balance and Management facilitates discussions on Ecosystem, Forestry, Greenhouse gas, Climate change and Environmental resource management. The journal addresses concerns in Ecosystem which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Climate change mitigation, Soil carbon and Vegetation. Forestry research featured in Carbon Balance and Management incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Carbon sequestration, Land cover, Biomass (ecology) and Deforestation.
The journal holds forums on Carbon sequestration that merges themes from other disciplines such as Agroforestry, Forest ecology and Ecosystem services. In addition to Greenhouse gas research, Carbon Balance and Management aims to explore topics under Forest management, Natural resource economics, Land use and Environmental protection. The research on Forest management tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Logging and Carbon accounting.
The journal tackles topics on Climate change, which can potentially contribute to the wider field of Ecology. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Environmental economics are some topics wherein Environmental resource management research discussed in Carbon Balance and Management have an impact. Carbon Balance and Management focuses on Forest inventory but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Lidar which is concerned with Physical geography, Sampling (statistics) and Scale (map).
The journal papers investigate areas of study like Ecosystem, Forestry, Greenhouse gas, Environmental resource management and Deforestation. The published papers explore issues in Ecosystem which can be linked to other research areas like Amazon rainforest, Vegetation and Environmental protection. The journal papers hold forums on Forestry that merge themes from other disciplines such as Biomass (ecology), Soil carbon and Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.
Ecosystem, Greenhouse gas, Soil carbon, Forestry and Carbon sink are among the topics commonly tackled in Carbon Balance and Management. The studies in Ecosystem featured incorporate elements of Carbon neutrality, Soil water, Climate change and Vegetation. Carbon Balance and Management discusses concepts in Global warming under Climate change and how they intertwine with disciplines like Context (language use).
The journal explores research in Forest management and overlapping concepts in Benchmark (surveying), Land use, Land use, land-use change and forestry and Biomass to expand the discourse in Greenhouse gas. Forestry research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Carbon sequestration, Biomass (ecology), Forest ecology and Disturbance (ecology). The concepts on Carbon sink presented in Carbon Balance and Management can also apply to other research fields, including Fertilizer, Agronomy, Soil fertility, Climate change mitigation and Sink (geography).
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Carbon Balance and Management (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Carbon Balance and Management (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 6.45% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 27.59% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.90% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.34% of all publications and 55.17% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For students interested in Environmental Sciences, exploring related degrees and career pathways can provide a broader understanding of options available. A traditional environmental science degree opens doors to careers in sustainability, conservation, and environmental policy. However, pursuing affordable options is also a priority for many, which is why identifying the cheapest online environmental science degree programs may help balance quality education with budget constraints.
Beyond environmental fields, related disciplines offer unique career opportunities. For example, accelerated learning paths like 5 year speech pathology programs enable students to enter healthcare with a focused degree. Similarly, the growing demand for mental health support highlights the benefits of a behavioral analysis degree. These diverse pathways reflect the interconnected nature of science, health, and technology, and emphasize the importance of choosing a program that aligns with both career goals and financial needs.
