Ecohydrology
A section of Water (ISSN 2073-4441).
Section Information
The “Ecohydrology” Section of Water publishes original research articles, reviews, and technical notes that explore the dynamic interactions between ecological and hydrological processes across diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It aims to improve our understanding of how water availability, distribution, and movement influence ecosystem structure, function, productivity, and resilience under natural and human-induced environmental changes.
The key research themes of this Section include ecohydrological processes in forests, farmlands, grasslands, deserts, and wetlands; ecosystem sensitivity and resilience to drought; water use efficiency and vegetation–soil–atmosphere coupling; feedbacks of ecosystems to regional and global climate change; hydrological and biogeochemical cycles; ecohydrological variability and stability under global change; and advances in monitoring, modeling, and integrated management of hydro- and ecosystems.
This Section serves as an interdisciplinary platform connecting hydrology, ecology, climatology, and environmental science to support sustainable water and ecosystem management.
