Turfgrass Simulation for Increased Performance in Changing Climate

Dear Colleagues,

The progressive urbanization of the word has resulted in numerous cities counting at least one, and in a number of cases more than ten, million citizens, with the ever-increasing population trend (UN data at https://population.un.org/wup/Maps/) posing new challenges to the organization of life in urban spaces. One aspect of these challenges is the organization of green spaces as places of contact with nature for citizens without traveling exurbia, which requires both time and money. Another increasingly seen aspect is the mitigation of progressive environmental pollution on the one hand and the negative impact of the changing climate (escalating droughts and heat) on the other.

Since lawn areas form the bases of most green urban spaces when visually evaluated, turfgrass stimulation with increased performance significantly influences citizens' wellbeing.

Due to global environmental resolutions imposing restrictions on the use of herbicides and fungicides, the amount of water required, and the reduction in shadow costs of carbon, advanced turfgrasses research is fundamental to meet future expectations.

Therefore, we invite you to submit your scientific work to the Special Issue of Agronomy entitled.

Turfgrass Stimulation towards Increased Performance in a Changing Climate, which will cover such issues as:

• biological progress in turfgrass breeding
• grass mixture species composition
• lawn care treatments, such as:
• mowing
• fertilization; mineral and organic
• growth modifications
• chemical and biological protection

• turfgrass species resistance to contamination
• biochemical and physiological bases of tolerance to environmental stresses

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Agronomy 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.
