Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on interactions between climate extremes and terrestrial ecosystems, especially in temperate zones. The impacts of extreme events and their multifactorial complex states can affect ecosystems far more than any changes in average conditions. Ecosystems can respond to extremes in terms of changes in the ambient concentrations of atmospheric pollutants and land uses. Conversely, these changes may also alter ecosystem services and thus impact the atmospheric and climatic systems due to changes in energy, water, gas, and particles. Currently based on various multi-scale measurement techniques from in situ to remote sensing, both climate extremes and ecosystem feedbacks can be better monitored and understood. However, there is still little awareness of the limits of ecosystem services to the public, as it is becoming more and more common to implement web-based toolboxes, or visualizations and alert systems, to raise awareness and increase public interest in research. The aim of this Special Issue is therefore to improve our understanding of climate–ecosystem interactions and feedbacks impacting ecosystem services and knowledge transfer. Examples of particularly interesting topics include (but are not limited to):
- Sensitivity of ecosystems in temperate mountain areas
- Plant and animal phenological responses to warming and extremes
- Human–animal interactions
- Landuse impacts on pollen release, transport, and human health
- Comparison and improvement on multi-scale measurement techniques
- Knowledge transfer applications via toolboxes, alert systems, and visualizations

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.
