Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions is important for alleviating human-induced climate change. Agricultural activities such as the application of synthetic and organic nutrients, tillage, and enteric fermentation contribute to 10–14% of global anthropogenic GHG emissions, primarily in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4). Recent research has focused on understanding the mechanisms of GHG production, emissions, and transfer processes, as well as developing effective mitigation strategies for agricultural systems.
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue titled “Advances in Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Agroecosystems”, to be published in the open-access journal Atmosphere in 2025. This Issue aims to advance the scientific understanding of GHG emissions from agricultural systems and support the development of the best management practices (BMPs) that can minimize emissions while maintaining agricultural productivity.
We invite original research, systematic review, meta-analysis, and model studies related to this theme. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Effects of agricultural management practices (e.g., fertilization, tillage, crop rotation, irrigation/drainage, animal/green manure, biochar, etc.) on GHG emissions;
- Laboratory or field studies on GHG emissions from soil freeze–thaw cycles;
- Meta-analyses of mitigation strategies for GHG reduction;
- Development of techniques in measurement and estimation of GHG emissions;
- Reduction in GHG emissions from the enteric fermentation and livestock systems;
- Model-based approaches for estimating GHG emissions at regional or global scales;
- Cost–benefit analysis of GHG mitigation strategies in agriculture.
We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue and encourage submissions that enhance our collective knowledge in this critical area.

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.
