Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally, including carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, are leading to climate change. Along with increasing public and political interest in abating climate change, opportunities to reduce GHG emissions have received increasing attention. Accordingly, it is necessary to identify what is the current progress of GHG emissions, what has driven GHG emissions in the past and what can feasibly and effectively drive them down in the future. However, GHG emissions result from delicate biogeochemical processes and are regulated by multiple environmental factors, showing very strong spatial and temporal heterogeneity and having large uncertainties in estimation.
In this Special Issue, we aim to publish original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, field observations and model studies on GHG emissions from various ecosystems, including forests, grasslands, inland waters, etc. Topics of interest to this Special Issue include (but are not limited to):
- Studies focusing on the spatial and temporal dynamics of GHG emissions at regional or global scales;
- Field studies exploring the mechanism and processes of GHGs emissions from natural ecosystems or regions affected by human activities;
- Systematic reviews (i.e., meta-analyses, model simulation and machine learning method) quantifying the significant sources or sinks of GHGs regionally or globally, and their potentially dominant factors, with regard to climate change or anthropogenic disturbances;
Approaches or optimization strategies to balance the tradeoff between GHG emissions and energy demand and economic 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.
