Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The coastal zone represents one of the largest blue carbon sinks on the Earth, and is simultaneously one of the most densely populated and economically vital regions globally. Coastal carbon sinks play an important role in optimizing spatial utilization and conservation. Understanding the spatiotemporal pattern and evolution trend of coastal carbon sinks, integrating these insights into land spatial planning and exploring the path of enhancing the potential of coastal carbon sinks and the coordinated improvement of land–sea in land spatial planning are expected to play a positive role in the rational development and utilization of the coastal land space, ecological protection and restoration.
In order to develop and utilize land more scientifically and rationally during the urbanization process and to effectively promote carbon sink enhancement to cope with global climate change, we organized this Special Issue. We invite submissions that explore theoretical research and practical applications related to oceans, coastal carbon sinks, land-use optimization, etc. The topics considered in this Special Issue should emphasize practical applications and go beyond theoretical and model-based research.
Suggested topics for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Evolution characteristics of marine and coastal carbon sinks;
- Ocean carbon sink accounting;
- Land-use optimization strategies;
- Impact of urbanization on carbon sink potential;
- Impact of climate change on carbon sinks;
- Enhancing carbon sink potential through coordinated land–sea development.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
