Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tree rings can reveal the history and dynamics of the cryosphere, the frozen part of the Earth system that influences the global climate and water cycle. This Special Issue aims to present the latest tree-ring research on the cryosphere and its interactions with other components of the Earth system. It will cover topics that include the following: how tree rings respond to and reconstruct past cryospheric changes and events; how tree rings help to understand the mechanisms and feedbacks between the cryosphere and the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere; and how tree rings can assess and predict future cryospheric changes and risks through the development and application of modeling.
The Special Issue will feature diverse and cutting-edge research from various disciplines and regions and show how tree-ring data can be integrated with other sources of information (such as remote sensing and modeling) to provide a holistic picture of the cryospheric system. We invite submissions of original research articles, review articles (including bibliometrics), and perspectives that address any aspect of tree-ring research related to the cryosphere. We especially encourage submissions that explore the interaction of multi-circles, new topics, methods, or perspectives in tree-ring and cryospheric research, or that bridge gaps between different disciplines or regions.

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. Forests is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
