Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Forest ecosystems interact with the atmosphere mainly through trace gas emissions. Exchange of non-CO2 trace gases (i.e., CH4, N2O, O3, CO and BVOCs) between the land surface and the atmosphere plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and climate. Recent studies have highlighted its importance for large climate-chemistry and climate-aerosol feedbacks. However, spatial and temporal variations in trace gas emissions and the magnitude of future feedbacks are a major source of uncertainty in atmospheric chemistry, air quality and climate science. Further research on these topics will help to understand the role of trace gases in climate change and reduce uncertainties in climate prediction models. This Special Issue aims to collect original research and review articles focused on topics in the scope of trace gas emission monitoring, their properties, and interactions, along with their relationship with climate. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Monitoring and modeling of trace gas emissions: strategies and methodologies;
- Trace gas fluxes in forests: results on specific site(s) or global scale;
- Trace gas emissions from forest fires and biomass;
- Trace gas release and its interactions with forest atmospheric environments.

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.
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.
