To celebrate and highlight the achievements of women in the land research area, this Special Issue, entitled “Women’s Special Issue Series: Land System Science”, will present the land-related work from leading female scientists. We call experienced female scientists, as well as young female scholars, to contribute to, and shed light on, this research.
To recognize outstanding female scientists’ excellence in the field of land and encourage them to contribute more to land’s research, an “Influential female research in Land System Science award” will be launched soon.
Welcome are research papers, short communications, reviews, discussions, and perspective papers. The precondition is that the lead author is female. Potential topics are as follows:
-
Challenges and innovations in land system science
-
Global change-drivers and pressures
-
Social-ecological systems and the UN SDGs
-
“Measuringsustainability”-conceptsandframeworks
-
Global biodiversity losses-how to halt
-
Climate change impacts on land systems-adaptation and mitigation
