Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Special Issue of Land on “Innovations in Soil Erosion Assessment and Management along Rivers and Coastal Areas:2nd Edition ”.
Soil erosion is the removal process of soil by the action of natural and anthropogenic factors. Therefore, it has become an extended issue worldwide. These processes not only influence the river dynamics, especially in terms of degradation and aggradation, but also influence the coastal dynamics. Indeed, the eroded material within river basins can reach beaches near the river mouth and can act as a natural nourishment. On the contrary, a low soil erosion and transport can cause shoreline erosions. Therefore, coastal and river dynamics should be analyzed as one system.
This Special Issue aims to analyze all the main aspects concerning innovations in soil erosion assessment and management and its influences in river and coastal dynamics, through research papers and case studies on the following topics:
- Soil erosion assessment, management, and modeling.
- Impact of natural factors, such as floods, landslide, and debris flow.
- Impact of anthropogenic factors, such as land use changes and construction of dams and check dams.
- Impact of extreme events and climate change.
- Interactions between soil erosion, river and coastal dynamics and shoreline changes.
- Integration of remote sensing.
- Modeling phases: calibration, validation, and uncertainty quantification.
- Application of modeling to support decision making.

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. Land 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.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
