Vegetation and Climate Relationships (3rd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a follow-up of the second Special Issue entitled “Vegetation and Climate Relationships (2nd Edition)” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/36873WKBNJ), published in Atmosphere in 2023, and will cover all aspects of vegetation and climate issues.

This Special Issue aims to provide information on recent advancements in our understanding of the relationships between climate and vegetation. This is an important topic because vegetation is not only affected by climate change but also plays an important role in the changes in regional or global climate. In the context of global climate change, understanding the relationships between vegetation and climate is becoming an important aspect of global change studies. In order to better understand vegetation and climate interactions, we need to further clarify the spatiotemporal changes in vegetation and climate in vegetation regions, the responses of vegetation to climate change, and the effects of vegetation on climate. In addition, the advancements and challenges in climate and vegetation research should be further discussed and explored to promote the development of the research on climate and vegetation relationships.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:

• Climate change in vegetation regions;
• Vegetation change against the background of climate change;
• Advancements in monitoring vegetation and climate changes;
• Responses of vegetation to climate change;
• Feedback effects of vegetation on climate change;
• Relationships between climate change and vegetation;
• Methods for analyzing the correlations between vegetation and climate change.
