Remote Sensing Technology for Agricultural and Land Management

Dear Colleagues,

With climate change and biodiversity crises, we need to rethink the way we perform agriculture and land management. Working with nature rather than trying to control it has the potential to increase carbon capture and biodiversity in agricultural units without sacrificing productivity. With regard to the management of the wider landscape, practices in “rewilding” are showing their potential to enhance the ecosystem services such as flood control, water quality, pollination, and amenity that wild spaces provide.

We are still learning how to manage this change effectively. Continuous assessment of land holdings is needed in order to ensure that the management goals are being met. This can only be achieved cost-effectively at scale through the use of remote sensing. This Special Issue will focus on techniques and case studies that build an experience base for the use of remote sensing to manage agricultural units and natural spaces in an environmentally positive and sustainable way.

Submissions of research papers, case studies, and review articles are welcome.

Prof. Dr. Paul Krause

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. Sensors 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 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.
