Challenges of Climate Change for Plant–Soil–Water Interactions

Dear Colleagues,

The effects of climate change on agriculture have caused global concerns, while very few solutions have been discussed to address this catastrophic threat. Climate change increases the odds of drought and extreme rainfall in many parts of the world, which markedly limit agriculture production. In response to global climate change, adaptive agronomic practices including cultivation, fertilization and irrigation ensure crops can adapt to changes in the environment. Crop performance and soil health are largely determined by the interactions between plant roots, soil and water. Therefore, in order to develop and improve agronomic practices for sustaining crop yields, it is important to substantially understand the interactions between plants, soil and water.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
