Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rivers are complex and fragile environments under continuous change and movement induced by man and nature, started centuries ago. Currently, the biggest threats posed to river ecosystems are originating from accelerating natural processes that arose partly due to human impacts. Because of this accelerated pace, river ecosystems have not had enough time to adapt to the changes and sustain themselves, which is now more true than ever. Hydromorphological processes, pollution, hydraulic structures, water regime changes caused by climate change, and changes in riparian and aquatic biodiversity are some of the issues that are exceptionally important for river ecosystems. In order to get to a sustainable solution for the future, we have to address problems in a multi-dimensional and multidisciplinary way, which requires the involvement of different scientific disciplines.
Therefore, we invite scientists with different research interests related to this problem to submit a manuscript to our Special Issue “River Ecosystem Processes in the Context of Sustainability”. We hope that placing focus on river ecosystems in a changing environment can helps us to gain more knowledge about inherent physical processes, encourage multidisciplinary research, and explore models of sustainability.
Articles may include but are not limited to the following topics:
- Hydromorphological processes;
- Ecohydrology;
- Ecohydraulics;
- Water quality control;
- Ecological status of rivers;
- Ecosystem services;
- Impacts of extreme hydrological events;
- Monitoring, modeling, evaluation;
- River-floodplain ecosystem 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 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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
