Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled “Plant-Environment Interactions for Crop Production, Soil Management and Pollution Reduction” aims to gather the ecophysiological, ecological and biogeochemical processes at the agroecosystem scale, that contribute to: (i) increasing crop productivity, (ii) improving soil quality and fertility, and (iii) reducing soil and water pollution.
Plant-environment interactions act as major drivers of the agroecosystem functioning. There is a huge scientific challenge to unravel the complexity of these interactions, especially for optimising the agroecosystem processes and maximising the delivered services. In this Special Issue, we highlight recent advances and new techniques that lead to a better understanding of the relationships between crops/weeds and their environment (biotic and abiotic factors, management practices, climate change, etc.), in view of promoting crop yield and quality, soil sustainability and water quality. To achieve the scientific ambition, it will be necessary to combine complementary approaches such as field evaluation, glasshouse and field experiments, and data modelling.
Dr. Bastien Lange

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
