Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The changing climate influences not only the natural environment but also human economy and life. Agriculture is one of the most important branches of the national economy, which depends, to a large extent, on environmental criteria, and particularly on climatic conditions and the current weather course. Precipitation and air temperature determine the water balance, on which the development of crops depends. A detailed investigation of the relations between the climatic conditions and functioning of different components of the hydrosphere provides an elementary basics for plant cultivation conditions. Agriculture will face many, more serious challenges in the coming decades due to climate change; therefore, knowledge of the soil–plant–atmosphere system at various spatial and temporal scales, considering climate change and variability, is relevant.

The Special Issue of Atmosphere is open to a wide range of research dealing with the thermal conditions, floods, droughts, water deficit, frosts, strong winds and extreme weather events influencing the agriculture. Thus, specialists on atmosphere, soil physics and chemistry, hydrology, meteorology, climatology, phenology, agronomy and others are welcome. In addition to its purely scientific character, knowledge concerning the responses and rate of changes occurring in agriculture due to climate conditions can also have an applicative character, providing the necessary basis for undertaking mitigation and corrective measures aiming to slow down the effects of global warming.

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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Abstract
The change in the spatial distribution of agroclimatic conditions based on the sum of active temperatures (SAT), growing degree days (GDD), and latitude–temperature index (LTI) is discussed in this article. Data from 20 meteorological stations of IMGW-PIB (Institute of Meteorology and Water Management—National [...] Read more.
The change in the spatial distribution of agroclimatic conditions based on the sum of active temperatures (SAT), growing degree days (GDD), and latitude–temperature index (LTI) is discussed in this article. Data from 20 meteorological stations of IMGW-PIB (Institute of Meteorology and Water Management—National Research Institute) in Poland from the years 1966–2020 were used. The temporal and spatial diversity of mean air temperature and the chosen indices were analyzed for the period from April to October. Designating areas of diverse thermal conditions with respect to plant comfort on the basis of agroclimatic indices was attempted, together with mean air temperature and its temporal changes. The clustering, using the Ward’s method, yielded four regions with different thermal resources in Poland. The study period showed an increase in the values of all agroclimatic indices and air temperature during the growing season, suggesting an increase in the thermal resources in the territory of Poland.
