About this Research Topic
We solicit research papers or reviews including, but not limited to, novel observations, experiments, or improved modeling methods aimed at enhancing our understanding of the influences of vegetation management on landscape hydrological and geochemical cycles. We welcome research papers that consider multiple spatial-temporal scales, from root to plant, field, landscape, watershed, and region. We encourage researchers to address any influence of ecohydrological ecosystem management on hydrological, soil, and geochemical cycles. We also seek innovative research articles that explore the scientific basis for the functional maintenance and sustainable management of vegetation. Thus, we need to gather superior units and teams to jointly carry out systematic research on the vegetation-soil-hydrology interaction and ecohydrological processes.
We welcome submissions in, but not limited to, the following topics:
1. Understand the processes that govern water uptake and transport by plants and the impacts of vegetation on soil moisture dynamics
2. Quantify the effects of changes in land use and climate on water balance, vegetation dynamics, and soil properties
3. Develop models to simulate the interactions between vegetation, soil, and water and predict the response of ecosystems to environmental changes
4. Evaluate the ecosystem services provided by vegetation and water resources, such as carbon sequestration, water regulation, and habitat provision
5. Develop sustainable management practices that optimize ecosystem services while minimizing negative impacts on the environment
6. Interface interaction mechanism between preferential flow and groundwater pollution
7. Comprehensive improvement for vegetation restoration.
8. The effects of forest management on hydrological processes.
9. Adaptability management for the ecosystem
10. The relationships between landscape patterns and hydrological process.
