global-change-biology
Use when targeting Global Change Biology or deciding whether a biology/ecology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the global-change-driver framing and biological-evidence bar, scale and mechanism expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Global Change Biology (global-change-biology) ## Journal positioning Global Change Biology is the Wiley journal for the biological and ecological responses of the living world to global change — climate warming, elevated CO2, altered precipitation, nitrogen deposition, land-use and land-cover change, and their interactions. Its defining expectation is a **clear global-change driver coupled to rigorous biological evidence**: a study that links an explicit global-change forcing to a biological or ecological response, with mechanism or consequence resolved from the molecular to the ecosystem scale. A local ecology, physiology, or biogeochemistry study with no global-change driver or framing is a weak fit, however well executed. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Global Change Biology submission guidance. ## When to trigger - The author names Global Change Biology and wants a fit/framing check for a global-change ecology or biology paper. - A local ecological, physiological, or soil/biogeochemical study must be re-framed around an explicit global-change driver a

What does the global-change-biology skill do?
Use when targeting Global Change Biology or deciding whether a biology/ecology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the global-change-driver framing and biological-evidence bar, scale and mechanism expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill global-change-biology --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
