Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global environment is undergoing unprecedented changes, exerting significant environmental stress on ecosystems worldwide. This Special Issue of MDPI Stresses aims to explore the diverse effects of these stressors on vegetation and wildlife, in collaboration with the Green Conference 2024 held in Zagreb, Croatia (https://www.sumins.hr/green2024/). We specially invite contributions that investigate the consequences of climate change, habitat fragmentation, pollution, invasive species, and human activities on ecosystems. Studies focusing on adaptive responses, resilience mechanisms, and mitigation strategies are particularly welcome. Key topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on biodiversity.
- Pollution and its impact on plant and animal health.
- Conservation strategies and ecosystem restoration efforts.
- Invasive species and their impact on ecosystems.
This Special Issue aims to advance our understanding of how environmental stressors influence ecosystem dynamics.
