Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lakes constitute an important element of the hydrosphere. Due to the high ability to accumulate energy and matter, they stand out among other components of the environment. These properties make them important in the context of water circulation, biodiversity, availability of water resources, economy, recreation, etc. In many regions of the world, they are therefore of key significance in purely environmental terms, but also through their direct importance in human life. Due to the observed climate change, many current processes are subject to transformation, considerably affecting the functioning of the entire lake ecosystem. Some examples of these include, among others, water level fluctuations, water temperature, ice cover, water quality, and hydrobiological conditions. According to the forecasts of climate change, in most assumed scenarios, the current direction will not change, and the rate of changes can be even higher than it is today. Therefore, it is important to have as detailed information as possible on the response of lakes to climate change. Such knowledge provides the basis for interpretation of changes in a broader aspect referring to lake catchments or regions.
We encourage all authors dealing with the broadly defined issue of lake studies to publish their papers in the present Special Issue. In addition to its purely scientific character, knowledge concerning responses and rate of changes occurring in lakes due to climate conditions can also have an applicative character, providing the necessary basis for undertaking corrective measures aimed at slowing down the effects of global warming.

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. Applied Sciences 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.

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.
