Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global warming and accelerating CO2 concentrations are having widespread impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, and the effects on vegetation dynamics in mountain and plateau regions are likely to have become more pronounced over the last 30 years. Mountains and plateaus are typically the sources of rivers, and their vegetation plays a crucial role in climate change mitigation and local ecological security and is essential in human sustainable development. There is increasing evidence suggesting that the rate of climate warming is accelerating in mountain and plateau environments, which will inevitably affect changes and zonal distribution patterns in vegetation and thus affect the regional and even global carbon cycle. However, the effects of climate change on vegetation, carbon, and the water cycle in mountain and plateau regions are not yet well known. Remote sensing has been widely used for its unparalleled advantages in detecting surface information on a global and regional scale. Therefore, we welcome submissions of studies on applications of remote sensing technology to study vegetation, water, and carbon in mountain and plateau regions and their response to climate change.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
