Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
River corridors play a major role in watershed nutrient cycling by mixing waters of different composition and stimulating biogeochemical reactions. Hydrological exchange flows and the associated biogeochemical processes show significant spatiotemporal variability as river corridor systems are subject to dynamic forcing over a wide range of timescales. Understanding and predicting nutrient cycling in river corridors is crucial for sustainable management of water resources under a changing environment. We invite contributions that advance our process understanding and mechanistic representation of nutrient cycling in river corridors, including but not limited to (1) coupling between hydrologic processes and nutrient cycling, (2) role of microbial functions in nutrient cycling, (3) process-based and data-driven methods to improve predictions of nutrient cycling, (4) bridging scales from reaction mechanisms to emergent watershed- and basin-scale system responses, (5) methods to integration observations, experiments, and models to improve predictive models, and (6) impacts of environmental changes, including extreme events.

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. Geosciences 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 1800 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.
