Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Forests play an important role in the active mitigation of atmospheric CO2 through increased carbon stocks. Competition, site condition, climate, and forest management affect the accumulation rate of forest carbon stock by affecting the structure and function of the forest ecosystems. The approaches combining field data with remote sensing data and process-based models are effective to estimate forest biomass carbon stock, but there are still uncertainties.
This Special Issue is seeking contributions to simulation of forest growth and carbon sink potential of forest vegetation and soil based on field data, remote sensing data, and process-based models. It provides an opportunity for researchers to present the results of studies on (a) the impacts of competition, site condition, climate and forest management on forests growth and carbon sequestration; (b) novel data acquisition, optimization, and management techniques and methods for forest growth and carbon sink monitoring; and (c) integration of field data, ground sensor networks, and remote sensing datasets for forest monitoring.
It aims to provide an up-to-date compendium of recent research in this field from around the world.

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. Forests is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
