Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a follow-up to the first Special Issue entitled "Permafrost Peatlands under Rapid Climate Warming" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/permafrost_peatlands_climate) published in Atmosphere in 2021. Permafrost peatlands are the most important reservoirs of organic carbon on the planet. The current melting of these peatlands is releasing carbon that has accumulated in the permafrost for thousands of years. This emission occurs mainly in the form of greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4). Understanding these processes is crucial for predicting catastrophic climate scenarios and their global consequences for humanity.
Articles on all aspects of the behavior of carbon between soil, water and the atmosphere are welcome in this Special Issue. Of particular interest are works devoted to the fate of greenhouse gases as a result of the impact of climate change and human activities on aquatic ecosystems of high latitudes and mountain peatlands, including both anthropogenically modified and untouched areas, as well as the socio-economic consequences of these changes. Papers on field, experimental, and modeling studies related to gas emission and uptake fluxes, carbon, nutrients and metals in permafrost peatlands may focus on climate warming, permafrost thaw, floods, fire and vegetation regime change, though other contexts are also of interest.

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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
