Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the controlling factors, processes and fluxes of biogeochemical nitrogen cycling in marine environments. Nitrogen cycling in marine ecosystems is complex, dynamic in space and time, and dependent on multiple interrelated ecosystem components. Although an increasing number of studies have been carried out on marine nitrogen cycling, there are fewer than those on terrestrial ecosystems. The workings of the oceanic nitrogen cycle may seem arcane, but understanding them is a necessary component in understanding both global marine productivity and climate change.
We invite researchers to submit articles that advance our understanding of nitrogen pollution, forms, fluxes, sources, fates, transformation processes and associated microorganisms in various marine ecosystems (including ocean, shallow seas, estuaries, coasts, as well as intertidal habitats).

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
