Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Editor-in-Chief, the Editorial Board, and the Guest Editors, Plants is very pleased to announce the Call for papers for a Special Issue that will comprise selected, extended plant-related papers that will be presented during the 28th International Symposium of the Scientific Centre for Fertilizers (CIEC) “Fertilization and Nutrient Use Efficiency in Mediterranean Environments”. The Symposium will be held on 16–20 March 2020 at the Hotel Titania, Athens, Greece (http://www.ciec2020.aua.gr/).
The 28th CIEC Symposium is thematically dedicated to issues of plant nutrition, soil science, fertilizers, and fertilization with a special focus on Mediterranean environments. The event is hosted by the PLANTERRA Institute for Plant Nutrition and Soil Quality of the Agricultural University of Athens and the Hellenic Fertilizers Association, and contributions are welcome in the following general research areas: fertilizers and fertilization, plant nutrition and nutrient use efficiency, soil fertility, and environmental issues in fertilization. There will be a special focus on the following thematic clusters: stabilized fertilizers, slow-release fertilizers, nutritive bio-stimulants, fertilization for stress alleviation, new technologies for diagnosis and fertilization, sulfur, silicon, and beneficial elements
Contributors are welcome to submit original plant-related research, method, opinion, and review articles on the aforementioned topics covered during the meeting. Papers selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer-review procedure with the aim of the rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications. Accepted manuscripts will receive a 50% discount on the article processing charge.
