Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Global climate change has become a hot topic in today's world. In recent years, the impact of climate change on terrestrial vegetation and soil microbiocenoses has been extensively studied. The systematic collection and collation of domestic and foreign research results on the impact of climate change on vegetation and soil are conducive to further understanding of the impact of climate change on the living environment. A large number of field quantitative analysis and empirical model prediction methods show that climate change has an important impact on terrestrial vegetation, which is mainly manifested in the changes of vegetation distribution range, productivity and diversity. Climate change will also change the basic properties of soil and their microbiocenoses. At the same time, as an important intermediate carbon pool in the global carbon cycle, soil organic carbon pool is closely related to climate change, and both climate warming and the decomposition of the soil organic carbon pool feed back to each other.

In this Special Issue, we are looking forward to receiving your original work on the topic of “Effects of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gas Emissions on Soil”. We sincerely hope that this invitation will spark your interest in publishing your latest contributions in this Special Issue dedicated to this highly topical, emerging scientific field.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
