About this Research Topic
This research topic aims to explore the evolution mechanisms and effects of watershed soil and water processes through advanced monitoring and modeling techniques. The primary objectives include understanding the spatial-temporal distribution patterns of hydrological and soil factors, revealing the evolution mechanisms of watershed hydrological processes, and providing a scientific basis for watershed development regulation and comprehensive management. Specific questions to be addressed include: How do climate change and human activities influence the spatial-temporal distribution of watershed elements? What are the interaction mechanisms between different watershed geographic factors? How can integrated modeling improve the prediction and management of watershed processes?
To gather further insights into the monitoring and modeling of runoff and soil processes in river basins, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Monitoring of hydrological factors in lakes and rivers;
• Monitoring of watershed soil and water ecological environment indicators;
• Monitoring of soil and water processes and simulation of sediment transport;
• Watershed water cycle and material transport;
• Integration of RS and GIS in water resource management.
Keywords: Hydrology, Global change and regional response, Remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems
