Dear Colleagues,

Sensors of all kinds, and mounted on a variety of platforms, are increasingly being used to monitor natural and human-influenced landscapes right around the world. However, recently there has been an increased focus upon the use of sensors to monitor plants and vegetation, whether this be in urban areas, agricultural systems, or natural ecosystems. Such monitoring occurs for a great variety of purposes, from assessment of crop yield and phenology to plant health or the assessment of ecosystem trajectory in landscapes undergoing rehabilitation or ecological restoration. This Special Issue welcomes empirical research of all kinds, in all ecosystems, that expands or improves the use of sensors to monitor plants at every life cycle stage, including as seeds, and enhances our mechanistic understanding of how sensor data can be examined or analysed to provide meaningful information about the ecology, physiology or growth of plants and vegetation.

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. Sensors 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 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.
