Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are emitted from both terrestrial and marine ecosystems and play vital roles in atmospheric chemistry, air quality, human health and global climate. Uncertainties remain in quantifying their emission rates, spatiotemporal variability, and interactions with anthropogenic pollutants. This Special Issue focuses on presenting recent developments in the measurement techniques (e.g., advanced sensor technologies, ground- and satellite-based remote sensing, and laboratory-based analytical techniques) and modeling approaches (e.g., process-based emission models and machine learning-driven simulations) of BVOCs. Studies exploring BVOC responses to environmental stressors (e.g., climate change, land-use shifts) and their feedback mechanisms on atmospheric composition are also within the scope of 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 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.
