Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants are an important component of forests, and vegetation restoration is an important means of enhancing forest ecological functions. At the same time, the cycling of elements in forests is closely related to the interaction between plants and the environment, such as plant growth and carbon cycling. Although vegetation restoration is considered an important strategy for forest protection, attention to the process, the mechanisms, and the evaluation of vegetation restoration need to be strengthened. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in the field of vegetation restoration technology and element cycling for forest conservation. It aims to provide a theoretical basis for the restoration and enhancement of forest ecosystem functions.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The latest progress in vegetation restoration technology;
- Vegetation restoration and forest ecological function;
- The dynamic cycling of nutrients;
- Plant remediation of heavy metal pollution;
- Vegetation restoration and carbon neutrality;
- Vegetation restoration process monitoring and effectiveness evaluation.

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. Forests 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 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.
