Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The process of land-air exchange is the bridge of material and energy exchange between the biosphere and atmosphere. Various substances between the land and the atmosphere are closely linked through the land–air exchange process. However, the exchange mechanism of active chemical components between the land and the atmosphere needs more detailed consideration, in particular, its emission, transport and sedimentation process. At the same time, there are still considerable uncertainties in the measurement and simulation of material and energy transport from the soil to the vegetation canopy to the atmospheric boundary layer. With global climate change and human activities, the land use state of the Earth's surface and the occurrence form of atmospheric components have undergone profound and complex changes. Whether these changes have caused changes in the land–air exchange mechanism, what impact they have on the Earth's environment and how to describe these changes and impacts more accurately through the improvement of observation technology and the optimization of numerical models require further scientific discussion. In this regard, we hope to discuss the current frontier issues in this Special Issue. We encourage research on new discoveries, new insights and new viewpoints related to the land-air exchange process, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Observation and simulation of the land-air exchange process on different underlying surfaces;
- Relationship between emissions, transport and the deposition of atmospheric components;
- Interaction between air pollution change and terrestrial ecosystem;
- Land-air interaction of new air pollutants such as antibiotics, etc.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
