Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon (C) in atmosphere enters terrestrial ecosystems through plant production and then stores in vegetation and soil. Terrestrial C sink accounts for approximately one third of CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. Global change, such as warming, altered precipitation, elevated CO2, land use change, and nitrogen fertilization, has long been found to have profound impacts on plant production in terrestrial ecosystems. Therefore, how terrestrial plant production responds to these global change factors is critical to predict land C sink and, thus, future climate. This Special Issue of Plants aims to highlight research progress on the responses of plant production (including both above- and belowground plant production) in various terrestrial ecosystems to global change, including but not limited to warming, altered precipitation, elevated CO2, land use change, and nitrogen fertilization, and the underlying mechanisms. This Special Issue will advance a predictive understanding of terrestrial plant production under future global change scenarios.

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. Plants 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 2700 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.
