Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The improvements brought by AI technologies in smart agriculture and precision forestry have the potential to increase productivity, reduce waste, and improve sustainability. Indeed, AI-powered sensors can grant a complete map of the culture, allowing for informed decisions about fertilization, irrigation, and pest control, resulting in improved crop yields and more efficient use of resources. AI applications to precision forestry can be used to analyze signals collected by remote and proximal sensors, allowing the precise identification of areas that are at risk of disease or wildfire and the development of targeted strategies for managing these risks. Finally, AI-based signal analysis can be used also to improve work safety during in-field operations.
This Special Issue will address all types of AI-powered sensors applied to smart agriculture and precision forestry.

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. Sensors 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.
