Aquatic Geochemistry

Aquatic Geochemistry is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal on the chemistry of natural waters and their reactions with rocks, minerals and sediments near the Earth's surface, published by Springer since 1995.《水生地球化学》是一份季刊，经同行评议，专收天然水体的化学以及水体与岩石，矿物，沉积物在地表附近的反应，1995 年创刊，由 Springer 出版。

Its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 1.9, with a five-year figure of 2.2, and the title is ranked 57th of 103 in Geochemistry & Geophysics. Full articles dominate the pages, short letters carry fast results, and reviews are few.2025 年影响因子为 1.9，五年影响因子为 2.2，在地球化学与地球物理类目 103 份刊物中列第 57 位。正文以完整论文为主，供快速发表的短讯承载时效性强的结果，综述数量很少。

Scope

• The aims statement runs to a single paragraph and starts from one object, the geochemistry of natural waters and their interaction with rocks and minerals under near Earth-surface conditions.宗旨声明只有一段，落点在一个对象上，即天然水体的地球化学，以及水体与岩石，矿物在近地表条件下的相互作用。

• Theory, experiment and modelling are named together, so a thermodynamic derivation, a column experiment and a reactive-transport calculation can stand in the same volume.理论，实验与模拟被并列写进范围，一份热力学推导，一组柱实验与一次反应输运计算可以出现在同一卷里。

• Field work is admitted on one condition, that the observation stresses a major process rather than adding another locality to the regional catalogue.野外工作获准进入的条件只有一条，观察须指向某个主要过程，而不是给区域目录再添一个地点。

• Water-rock interaction and chemical weathering carry a large part of the content, from silicate catchments and river solute budgets to the secondary phases that slow a reaction down.水岩相互作用与化学风化占了内容的很大一部分，从硅酸盐流域与河流溶质收支，一直到使反应减速的次生相。

• Major and trace elements in rivers, lakes, groundwaters and seawater are reported as full solute suites more often than as single analytes.河流，湖泊，地下水与海水中的主量及微量元素，多以成套溶质数据报告，单一组分测定的稿件少见。

• Isotopes enter mainly as tracers, with strontium, carbon, nitrogen, boron and uranium systems used to separate sources, date reactions and read mixing between water bodies.同位素多以示踪剂身份进入，锶，碳，氮，硼与铀同位素体系用来区分物源，给反应定年，辨识不同水体之间的混合。

• Redox processes and complexation equilibria are treated in the field and in the laboratory, together with the speciation calculations that decide which species carries a metal in solution.氧化还原过程与络合平衡在野外和实验室两头处理，并配以形态计算，用以判定金属在溶液中由哪一种形态携带。

• Sediment-water exchange has a steady presence, covering early diagenesis, benthic fluxes and the chemistry of pore waters squeezed from cores.沉积物与水的交换稳定出现，覆盖早期成岩，底栖通量以及从柱样中压出的孔隙水化学。

• Biogeochemical cycling draws in the carbon and nutrient literature, and papers on CO2 degassing from river headwaters or carbonate chemistry on reefs sit beside the inorganic work.生物地球化学循环把碳与营养盐文献拉进刊物，河流源头的二氧化碳脱气或礁区碳酸盐体系的论文，与无机方向的研究并列。

• Saline systems form a recognisable strand, with salt-lake hydrochemistry, lithium and potassium enrichment and the isotope record of evaporite basins recurring across volumes.盐类系统构成一条清晰脉络，盐湖水化学，锂与钾的富集以及蒸发岩盆地的同位素记录，在多个卷次里反复出现。

• Organic geochemistry appears through dissolved and water-extractable organic matter, humic substances and their optical or fluorescence signatures in soils, lakes and peatland waters.有机地球化学通过溶解态与水可提取有机质，腐殖物质及其在土壤，湖泊与泥炭水体中的光学或荧光特征现身。

• Contaminants are covered where chemistry governs their fate, as in arsenic mobility within a karstic aquifer or cadmium adsorption on a mineral surface.污染物的去向由化学支配时才会入刊，例如岩溶含水层中砷的迁移，或镉在矿物表面的吸附。

• Analytical geochemistry belongs to the remit as well, and method papers, including attempts to determine hydromagnesite from satellite data, are accepted when the chemistry is the point.分析地球化学同样在范围内，方法类论文只要落点在化学上就能获准，包括用卫星数据测定水菱镁矿的尝试。

• Surface chemistry of minerals is treated as part of the same programme, with acid-base behaviour, surface complexation and adsorption edges measured rather than assumed.矿物表面化学被当作同一计划的一部分，酸碱行为，表面络合与吸附边都要求实测，不作假定。

• Modelling papers are expected to name the thermodynamic database and the assumptions behind a simulation, and numerical work on radionuclide behaviour is printed as readily as equilibrium calculations.模拟类论文须点明所依的热力学数据库与背后的假定，放射性核素行为的数值研究与平衡计算受到同等对待。

• Two shorter formats sit beside the full articles, a letter type reserved for rapid publication and a small number of reviews kept for topics of broad interest or live controversy.完整论文之外还有两种短格式，一为专供快速发表的短讯，二为留给广泛关注或争议正酣话题的少量综述。

• Output is small, with 4 articles counted for 2025, and the Crossref record for that year holds only volume 31, issue 1.发文量很小，2025 年只计入 4 篇，Crossref 该年的记录里只有第 31 卷第 1 期。

• The publisher's metrics panel gives a median of 15 days from submission to first decision, a pace that owes something to the modest flow of manuscripts.出版方的指标栏给出 15 天的首轮决定中位时间，这样的速度与投稿量不大有关。

• In 2026 the publisher announced that the journal will cease publication from 2027 onward, and new manuscript submissions stopped at the same time.2026 年出版方公告，该刊自 2027 年起停止出版，新稿投递同时关闭。
