Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of the climate has been evolving for decades. While scholarship has always focused on temperature, ecosystems, etc., when it comes to climate change, there has been a recent shift in the priority of this issue relative to other issues, with a new focus on vegetation–atmosphere interactions in a changing climate.
In light of this shift in focus, the open access journal Atmosphere will host a Special Issue on water transport in arid regions, forest ecohydrology, regional climate change, the restoration of vegetation degradation, remote sensing on snow, forest systems and climate change, and more. This Special Issue is also an appropriate venue for papers dealing with human thermal comfort and productivity, as recent research shows that desertification can contribute greatly to climate change. Ultimately, this Special Issue aims to present the latest comparable evidence on the impacts of desertification.
Raw results from subjective surveys, models, and review papers related to climate and forest hydrology in decertified regions are welcome. Authors are encouraged to include sections that address future issues, opportunities, and/or concerns related to their topic in 5-, 10-, and 20-year horizons.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
