Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nature-based solutions provide a strategic intervention to increase resilience and mitigate the adverse impacts of urbanization, industrial processes, and climate change. You are invited to contribute original research and review articles focused on the use of nature-based solutions to support air pollution abatement, carbon sequestration, climate resilience, phytoremediation, thermal comfort, and urban sustainability for healthy and liveable neighborhoods, cities, and communities. Research on the interactions between nature-based solutions and air quality, climatic processes, and heat across different urban, suburban and peri-urban morphologies, is also appropriate for inclusion in this Special Issue. Contributions may include experimental field research, modelling studies, biometeorological surveys, and methods and techniques for evaluating the impact of nature-based solutions on climatic conditions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Interactions between nature-based solutions and air quality;
- Climate-sensitive nature-based solutions for sustainable cities;
- Urban climate conditions (e.g., UHI, humidity, radiation, precipitation, wind) and nature-based solutions;
- Nature-based solutions and blue carbon;
- Nature-based solutions for phytoremediation;
- Nature-based solutions for carbon sequestration;
- Nature-based solutions for urban heat and health;
- Nature-based solutions for sustainable development.

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.
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.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
