Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquatic ecosystems are structured by the interaction of physical, biological and chemical processes on multiple spatial and temporal scales. Recently, water pollution caused by various pollutants since the Industrial Revolution has significantly impacted the aquatic ecosystems. From the perspective of water-land coupling coordination, the significance of restoration efforts in the shore-water interface zone cannot be underestimated in mitigating ecological risks associated with terrestrial soil erosion and aquatic eutrophication. In this special issue, we focus on new theories, methods, and applications for the balancing conservation and development in aquatic ecosystems.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of recent research related to this field of interest, the topics of the Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Emerging contaminants treatment theory and technologies in aquatic ecosystems
- High value-added reuse of the biomass produced in aquatic ecosystems
- Application of new materials for aquatic ecosystems
- Water-land coupling coordination
- Research on technology, management and planning for shoreline and water synergy
- Green infrastructure planning in watershed
- Long-term mechanisms for the management of the watersheds.

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. Water 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.
