Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrients cycling in farmlands has significant effects on global warming, water eutrophication as well as food security. Unreasonable fertilizer application, inefficient irrigation, and soil erosion in farmlands have driven carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in soil leaching into water systems, causing eutrophication, groundwater contamination, and greenhouse gas emissions. It is important to clarify the nutrients cycling processes in farmlands, and to manage the nutrients for enhancing use efficiency, reducing losses to the environment, and improve soil health.
This Special Issue, entitled "Feature Papers in Ecosystem, Environment and Climate Change in Agriculture", aims to publish high-quality papers that advance understanding of nutrient migration processes, mechanisms, their environmental impacts, and mitigation strategies for green production in farmlands. It focuses on the new mechanisms of nutrient cycling, responses of nutrient cycling to climate change, the measurements of nutrient migration fluxes under air–soil–water interface, prediction of nutrient losses using machine learning, and new techniques for managing nutrients cycling to reduce losses and improve soil health in farmlands. The Special Issue also welcomes critical reviews and syntheses of the current state of affairs and emerging themes in ecosystem, environment and climate change in agriculture.

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. Agriculture 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.
