Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environments worldwide are experiencing significant pressure due to climate change, and as a result, hydrological processes, soil quality and stability, as well as vegetation, have begun to exhibit (and may continue to develop) various stress indicators. Extreme hydrological events have been observed at temperate latitudes, and in dry regions, more extreme droughts can occur. From this perspective, the soil is at risk of degradation, and climate change is a source of pressure for many plants, although some plants from arid and semiarid environments are better equipped to withstand these challenging conditions.
In the face of these climate constraints, this Special Issue aims to identify and explore the relationships between hydrology, soil, and plant resilience.
