Microbial Cycling of Trace Greenhouse Gases in Forest Soils

Dear Colleagues,

Atmospheric trace greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, have high global warming potentials. Forest ecosystems modulate important functions on these trace greenhouse gases, as microbial communities participate in both the production and consumption of these gases in forest soils. In particular, human activities and the changing climate might further affect the greenhouse gas emissions from forest soils. The Special Issue will present the influences and responses of soil bacterial communities in forests to global warming.

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. Forests 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
