Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is aimed to the submission of both review and original research articles related to multi and hyperspectral applications in subtropical and tropical regions worldwide. The Special Issue is open to contributions ranging from land use/cover change, water resources management, environmental monitoring, biodiversity assessments, ecological succession, forest health and quality, smart agriculture, times series analyses, as well as innovative approaches using sensor fusion and drone base remote sensing. Original contributions that look at integrated sensor base technologies (e.g., wireless sensor networks) with multi or hyperspectral remote sensing platforms (drone, airborne, and spaceborne) are also encouraged.

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).
