Special Issue on Desert Ecosystem

Though a desert may seem like a barren land, the desert ecosystem is one of the most diverse when it comes to ‘unique’ flora and fauna. In the harsh environment, the key to survival is adaptation, and that is made obvious by several plants and animals over the years. The desert ecosystem offers many strange and unusual adaptations between plant and animal to make sure their survival.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring desert ecosystem. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Animals in desert
• Plants in desert
• Biome adaptations
• The influence of climate
• Desert ecosystem modeling
• The impact of human activity on desert ecosystem

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Desert Ecosystem” should be chosen during your submission.
