Carbon Fluxes in the Pan-Arctic Region

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue that addresses relevant topics at the nexus of climate and environmental changes across the Pan-Arctic region. This extremely sensitive environment is warming faster than other parts of the Earth, which has already triggered rapid and alternate changes in terrestrial ecosystems and is causing perennially frozen ground—permafrost—to thaw. Patchy observations in the Arctic domain, especially for the remote High-Arctic locations, essentially limit our knowledge of carbon turnover in this climatically sensitive area and the fate of the enormous carbon reservoirs conserved in the permafrost. This Special Issue welcomes articles focusing on the study of various aspects of terrestrial carbon cycling, atmosphere–ecosystem interactions, lateral terrigenic carbon fluxes to aquatic systems, wildfire emissions, the effects of permafrost degradation on carbon turnover, and the vulnerability and adaptation of ecosystems across the Pan-Arctic region to climate and environmental changes. Furthermore, we welcome articles reporting novel approaches towards the monitoring, modeling, and upscaling of carbon and ecosystem dynamics in the Pan-Arctic domain under observed and projected global warming.

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. Atmosphere 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 2400 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.
