Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting articles for submission to the Special Issue of Remote Sensing titled “Remote Sensing of Ecogeomorphology and Ecohydrology: Feedback between Biota and Sediment Transport at the Earth’s Surface”.
Feedbacks between biota and landscape are often difficult to determine. The roles of life as a control of the Earth’s surface morphodynamics is largely unknown, and only recently researchers have started exploring these intricate interactions. The goal of this Special Issue is to promote works, applying mainly a remote sensing approach, that investigate how the Earth’s surface is shaped by vegetation, animals, and micro-organisms, and subsequently how these ecosystems evolve within the newly generated landscape. Examples of study topics in this new and exciting field are the feedbacks between water fluxes, sediment transport, and biology, and the spatial organization of vegetation on terrestrial landscapes. We encourage submissions of ecogeomorphic and ecohydraulic studies based on remote sensing observations coupled with field experiments and numerical modeling. Emphasis will be given to novel research that investigates the resilience of coupled ecological–geomorphic systems to climate change. In particular, we seek ecogeomorphic contributions in coastal and marine processes, aeolian processes, hillslope dynamics, river geomorphology, glacial and periglacial landscapes, and tectonics geomorphology.

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.
