Wind and Water Erosion Management: Achievements, Challenges and Trends

Dear Colleagues,

Soil erosion causes diverse on-site and off-site consequences that threaten the environment and public health, and such influences vary among different environments and spatial scales. Wind and water erosion, which are the two major types of soil erosion, prevail in different regions as they are determined by the climate conditions. They have their basic features in common, but also clear distinctions due to their different eroding agents, transportation and deposition modes. In certain areas, wind and water erosion coexist and form more complex erosion processes and phenomena. Under the circumstances of the changing climate and land use, the present and future of wind and water erosion warrant more attention. Comprehensive research on wind and water erosion is essential for maintaining environmental sustainability and ensuring the public health and well-being of humans in the environment.

This Special Issue aims to bring together papers that demonstrate the progress in soil erosion research, identify the major challenges and examine trends in this field, so as to achieve better practice for optimal soil utilization and protection. Original research articles and reviews on wind erosion, water erosion and the complex erosion by both wind and water are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
