Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ecological environment is an important source of support for sustainable development and one of the leading global development drivers. Therefore, it is particularly critical to maintaining the global ecological balance. In recent years, the development of remote sensing and GIS technology has provided strong support for the study of ecological evolution and degradation, the long-term monitoring of its environmental effects, and the fine analysis of environmental change behavior.
We are pleased to publish the Special Issue on “Application of Multi-scale Remote Sensing and GIS Technology to Study Terrestrial Ecosystems”. This Special Issue aims to integrate multi-scale remote sensing and GIS technologies to monitor the quality of the ecological environment at different spatial and temporal scales and further protect terrestrial ecology. Topics include, but are not limited to, terrestrial ecosystem services (carbon, water cycles, biochemical observations, climate change, drought, fire, heatwave, flooding, etc.) as well as spatial scales (environmental and ecological dynamics at different spatial scales) and time scales (ecological evolution from the paleoenvironment to the present).

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
