Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment: Monitoring, Modeling and Mitigation Under Climate Change

Dear Colleagues,

Agricultural ecosystems are fundamental to global food security and play a complex role in Earth’s biogeochemical cycles. They act as both a source and a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂), and practices for their management significantly influence regional water, energy, and climate balance. Cropping system, irrigation practice, soil health, phenological stage, and extreme weather events all impact the capacity of agroecosystems for carbon sequestration, coping with greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change adaptation and mitigation. This Special Issue aims to advance our understanding of the interactions between agricultural ecosystems and the atmosphere, as well as agriculture’s level of resilience to a changing climate. We welcome original research articles and reviews on the interactions between agricultural ecosystems and the atmosphere, including, but not limited to, crop productivity, evapotranspiration, agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, land use change, and agroecology, as well as their spatial and temporal variation.

We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
