Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wetlands and forest ecosystems play a critical role in regulating hydrological processes, maintaining biodiversity, and supporting climate resilience. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change, land-use dynamics, and anthropogenic pressures. Recent advances in remote sensing technologies, cloud computing platforms, and machine learning techniques have enabled unprecedented opportunities for eco-environmental monitoring and assessment at multiple spatial and temporal scales. This Special Issue aims to bring together high-quality research that leverages satellite remote sensing, geospatial analysis, and data-driven approaches to monitor, model, and assess eco-environmental conditions in wetlands and forested regions. We invite original research articles and review papers addressing both methodological advancements and applied studies across diverse geographic regions.
Contributions focusing on hydrological processes, ecosystem health, land-use and land-cover change, climate change impacts, and sustainability assessment are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and practitioners to share innovative methodologies, case studies, and integrated frameworks that enhance understanding of eco-hydrological interactions and support evidence-based environmental management and policy development.
Keywords: Wetlands, Ecosystems, Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring, Soil and Water, Remote Sensing, GIS, Land-use and Land-cover.

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. Water 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.
