Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet through the Sustainable Development Goals. We are determined to fulfill the bold and transformative steps that are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. In this regard, severe soil and water loss, has become one of the most critical phenomena affecting Earth's surface. This Special Issue will provide the premier forum for presenting new advances and research results in the fields of soil and water conservation for desertification control under climate change. The topics of interest for submission may focus on the new technologies regarding soil and water conservation together with the important results related to the novel approaches.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the follows: effects of climate change on land degradation, erosional and depositional processes, land degradation and restoration, water-saving agriculture, urban water harvest, resilient cities, watershed management, resource management, environmental sustainability, hazardous substances, and detection techniques.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
