Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the intricate processes of carbon and nitrogen cycling and their microbial mechanisms is of utmost importance in contemporary environmental science. These cycles play a fundamental role in maintaining the stability and functionality of ecosystems worldwide. Carbon and nitrogen cycling processes regulate nutrient availability, energy flow, and greenhouse gas emissions within ecosystems. The interactions between microorganisms and these cycles are particularly crucial, as microorganisms drive key transformations and reactions, influencing the overall functioning and health of ecosystems. This Special Issue aims to shed light on the latest research findings and advancements regarding carbon and nitrogen cycling and their associated microbial mechanisms in order to deepen our comprehension of ecosystem dynamics and inform sustainable management practices.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to bridge knowledge gaps and promote a deeper understanding of carbon and nitrogen cycling and their microbial mechanisms. By gathering and disseminating cutting-edge research, this Special Issue aims to highlight the vital role of microorganisms in mediating carbon and nitrogen transformations and contribute to the development of sustainable strategies for ecosystem management and restoration. Additionally, this Special Issue seeks to foster collaboration among scientists from different disciplines, enabling the exchange of ideas and methodologies that can lead to innovative approaches in studying and harnessing the potential of microbial communities involved in carbon and nitrogen cycling. Ultimately, it is anticipated that the knowledge gained from this Special Issue will support informed decision-making processes for preserving ecosystem health, enhancing agricultural practices, and mitigating the impacts of climate change on carbon and nitrogen dynamics.

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. Atmosphere 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 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.
