In the 21st Century, air pollution and climate change are very serious environmental problems for forest ecosystems all over the world. Therefore, many researches are needed for understanding the responses of forest ecosystems to air pollutants such as ozone (O3), a main component of photochemical oxidants, and climate change such as elevated atmospheric CO2 and air temperature. The 28th IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organizations) Biennial Conference of Research Group 7.01 (Impacts of Air Pollution and Climate Change on Forest Ecosystem) entitled “Actions for Sustainable Forest Ecosystems under Air Pollution and Climate Change” was held in Fuchu, Tokyo, Japan (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology) on 22-26 October, 2017. At this biennial conference, we had an excellent opportunity to discuss close relationships among air pollution, climate change and forest ecosystems. This special issue of Journal of Agricultural Meteorology is dedicated to the original articles derived from the organized sessions of the 28th IUFRO Biennial Conference of Research Group 7.01 as follows: (1) Asian forest ecosystem under changing environment, (2) Developing detection, monitoring and evaluation, (3) Ecophysiological and genetic understanding of plant responses, (4) Water and nutrient cycles in forest ecosystems, (5) Modelling and risk assessment, and (6) Forest ecosystems under multiple stressors. The following briefly introduces the 5 original articles in this special issue.
