Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wetland is one of the most important parts of the world, and its dynamic change will greatly impact the biogeochemical cycle of matter, ecosystem stability, climate change, etc. on a regional or even global level. As reported in the Global Wetland Outlook (Special Edition 2021), 35% of global natural wetlands have been lost since 1970, leading to severe deterioration of ecological service functions of wetland and threatening the global ecological environment. To address this negative situation (wetland degradation), significant efforts by the government, social organizations, and scientists have focused in recent decades on the construction of conservation areas, conversion of croplands to wetlands, vegetation recovery, etc. However, there is great uncertainty in the outcomes and efficiencies related to eco-environmental improvements (e.g., ecological service value, pollution control, carbon sequestration, and others), among different management or restoration practices. Effective techniques and methods for long-term monitoring of a restoration project are also scarce. In addition, advanced research methods, such as life cycle assessment, cost–benefit analysis, techno-economic analysis, and meta-analysis, are urgently needed to explore the impacts of a management activity or a restoration project more comprehensively. Papers addressing these topics are invited for this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard with a practical focus on providing optimal wetland conservation and restoration solutions.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
