Wetland Ecology: Plant Adaptations to Changing Wetland Environments

Dear Colleagues,

Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth, providing essential services such as water purification, flood mitigation, and habitat for diverse flora and fauna. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution, and land-use changes, leading to altered hydrology and habitat degradation. Understanding plant adaptations to these changing wetland environments is crucial for effective conservation and management strategies. This Special Issue, titled "Wetland Ecology: Plant Adaptations to Changing Wetland Environments," seeks to explore the various physiological, morphological, and genetic adaptations that wetland plants exhibit in response to environmental stressors. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that address the mechanisms of plant resilience, including but not limited to root adaptations, nutrient uptake strategies, and reproductive success under fluctuating conditions. Additionally, we encourage contributions that examine the ecological implications of these adaptations on wetland biodiversity and ecosystem functions. By integrating findings from different regions and plant taxa, this Special Issue aims to enhance our understanding of the adaptive strategies employed by wetland plants and to provide insights into their role in promoting wetland health in the face of climate change. We hope that this collection will inspire further investigations into plant responses and facilitate the development of innovative approaches for wetland restoration and management in a changing world.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in International Journal of Plant Biology.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Limnological Review is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
