Croplands, occupying approximately 13% of Earth’s land surface, are pivotal for global food security and sustaining human populations through providing essential resources for agriculture. Accurate and timely monitoring of cropland use provides critical information for resource management and decision-making at various levels. Recent advances in remote sensing technologies as well as data-model integration and AI technologies enable the mapping and monitoring of cropland use across multiple scales, e.g., global, regional and fields.
Journal Name: Journal of Remote Sensing
Scope: This special issue aims to disseminate state-of-the-art research and applications using remote sensing techniques for monitoring and mapping of croplands use.

Abiotic stresses are major environmental factors that affect plant growth and survival of crop plants, particularly, cotton. Keeping in view the role of abiotic stresses, Journal of Cotton Research is hosting a thematic series on cotton abiotic stress tolerance. The Institute of Cotton Research (ICR, CAAS) covers the publication costs for the Journal of Cotton Research, so authors do not need to pay an article-processing charge.
Journal Name: Journal of Cotton Research
Scope: The thematic series covers the following topics: Drought or flooding, Saline-alkali or acidity, Extreme temperature (heat and cold), Nutrient, Toxic metals in soil
Publication Cost: No Publication Fee (Free Publication)

The Journal of Remote Sensing, an Open Access journal published in association with AIR-CAS
Journal Name: Journal of Remote Sensing
Scope: This special issue seeks contributions focusing on cutting-edge hyperspectral remote sensing applications from the plot- to the satellite-level. We also seek contributions that utilize intelligent image processing and information extraction techniques to more effectively exploit the vast importation contained in hyperspectral data cubes. These applications are being focused on themes such as urban, ecology, geology, agriculture, resources, and wetland.
