Aquatic Ecological Monitoring and Wastewater Treatment in Agricultural Systems

Dear Colleagues，

Water quality and ecological management are the most important parts of agricultural economy and system development. In addition, facilities that can deal with pollutants generated by agriculture are also very meaningful (wastewater treatment facility). This is because there is a possibility that another harmful compound may be produced during the process. Various organic and inorganic compounds are used to grow crops, and these compounds are likely to enter nearby rivers or streams in the type of nonpoint pollutants caused by rainfall, adversely affecting the agricultural ecosystem. However, studies of predictive techniques are needed because precipitation is frequent and unpredictable due to climate change. Agriculture has the longest history among many industries and is directly and indirectly related to the development of human life. Therefore, for agricultural growth, it is necessary to predict the agricultural aquatic ecosystem with modeling techniques using water quality and ecological monitoring results due to various environment changes.

In this Special Issue, we will focus on monitoring and modeling for water quality, ecosystem, wastewater facility, phytoplankton and zooplankton, taste order compounds, nonpoint sources, and anthropogenic impact. We welcome novel research, reviews, and opinion pieces covering all related topics.

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-anonymized 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 semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
