Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue welcomes contributions that employ any innovative solution based on proximal or remote sensing aimed at being used in the site-specific management of any agroforestry system. Such approaches can, for instance, facilitate the delineation of homogeneous zones and encourage the adoption of precision agriculture strategies. Manuscripts may focus on applications in agricultural systems as well as in pastures and grasslands. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, generation and refinement of targeted soil and/or plant information; data modelling and interpretation; applications of such information in various fields such as agriculture, forestry, natural resource management, and climate change mitigation; and the development of soil and/or plant information systems at multiple spatial scales.
Special emphasis will be placed on research that employs or develops innovative data integration methodologies, studies that make use of novel proximal or remote sensing datasets, and research that delivers practical outcomes for local stakeholders. This includes tools for GIS-based planning and decision support aimed at improving field management and sustainability.

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-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.
