Abstract

The Western Pacific is a unique region for studying cross-interface biogeochemical cycling, which is influenced by the boundary currents and their interactions with the East Asian marginal seas. This special issue expands our knowledge of the Western Pacific biogeochemical cycles across the air–sea and sediment–water interfaces, and their links with global climate change. It contains 27 research articles addressing 3 primary themes: (i) air–sea interface processes (e.g., biological pump, gas exchange, dust fluxes), (ii) sediment–water interface processes (e.g., organic matter diagenesis, hydrothermal flux, metal isotope geochemistry), and (iii) paleoceanographic records documenting past Western Pacific productivity, carbon cycle and water mass mixing. Together, these contributions advance our understanding of how the Western Pacific Ocean participates in global biogeochemical and climate systems, both in the present and geological past.

特刊前言：西太平洋大气-海洋和沉积物-水界面的生物地球化学循环及其对全球变化的响应

西太平洋受边界流及其与东亚边缘海的相互作用的影响，是研究跨界面生物地球化学循环的独特区域。本期特刊扩展了我们对西太平洋生物地球化学循环在空气-海洋和沉积物-水界面的认识，以及它们与全球气候变化的联系。它包含27篇研究文章，涉及3个主要主题：(i)气-海界面过程（例如，生物泵、气体交换、粉尘通量），（ii）沉积物-水界面过程（例如，有机质成岩作用、热液通量、金属同位素地球化学），以及（iii）记录过去西太平洋生产力、碳循环和水团混合的古海洋学记录。总之，这些贡献促进了我们对西太平洋在现在和过去地质时期如何参与全球生物地球化学和气候系统的理解。

期刊介绍： The objective of the journal Global and Planetary Change is to provide a multi-disciplinary overview of the processes taking place in the Earth System and involved in planetary change over time. The journal focuses on records of the past and current state of the earth system, and future scenarios , and their link to global environmental change. Regional or process-oriented studies are welcome if they discuss global implications. Topics include, but are not limited to, changes in the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere, oceans and cryosphere, as well as climate change, sea level variation, observations/modelling of Earth processes from deep to (near-)surface and their coupling, global ecology, biogeography and the resilience/thresholds in ecosystems. Key criteria for the consideration of manuscripts are (a) the relevance for the global scientific community and/or (b) the wider implications for global scale problems, preferably combined with (c) having a significance beyond a single discipline. A clear focus on key processes associated with planetary scale change is strongly encouraged. Manuscripts can be submitted as either research contributions or as a review article. Every effort should be made towards the presentation of research outcomes in an understandable way for a broad readership.
