The Impact of Land Use on Atmospheric Environment

Dear Colleagues,

This is a call for papers for the Topic ‘The Impact of Land Use on Atmospheric Environment’, which is helpful for policy makers to put forward land use structure and spatial layout strategies under the optimization constraints of atmospheric environmental effects. Since the 20th century, land use change caused by human activities, as an important forcing factor of the global atmospheric environment system, has led to unprecedented rapid changes in atmospheric composition and the climate system. This Topic aims to set up a holistic framework to address the major challenges of climate change and achieve sustainable urban development.

In the course of human development, social and economic activities must ultimately take land as the carrier. With the rapid expansion and excessive concentration of population, cities have become more concentrated areas of pollutant emission and economic prosperity. Serious atmospheric pollution has caused great harm to residents' health. This framework encourages the participation of all parties, including meteorology, geography, ecology and environmental science.

The Topic ‘The Impact of Land Use on Atmospheric Environment’ welcomes high-quality works that focus on land use change, air pollution, climate system, carbon emissions, and environmental effects. Measurements, assessments, technical solutions, public participation and governance related to these topics can also be submitted.
