Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water resources, energy, and food are the three fundamental material bases and strategic resources on which human society depends for survival and development. Driven by population growth, urbanization, and other factors, the increasing demand for these resources, along with the impacts of climate change, has placed significant pressure on the ecological environment, becoming a major bottleneck for green and sustainable development. Current global resource endowments face issues of mismatch and imbalance between production capacity and consumption scale, exacerbating the pressure on resources and the environment.
Therefore, it is essential to study and analyze the synergistic evolution relationships among water resources, energy, and food systems in river basins or regions to provide references for promoting ecological protection and high-quality development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Applications of remote sensing in water–energy–food system research;
- The impacts of climate change and anthropogenic activities on the water–energy–food system;
- Construction of water–energy–food index systems from different spatial scales;
- Evolution trends in water–energy–food coupling coordination.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
