Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Under the dual driving forces of climate change and human activities, the hydrological processes and ecological patterns in arid inland river basins have undergone significant changes. Ecosystems’ resilience to external disturbances has degraded. Human activities not only impact vegetation patterns and water cycles but also alter the interaction between vegetation growth processes and hydrological processes, which is closely tied to the stability and development of arid ecosystems. With this, recognizing the evolving patterns of hydrological and ecological processes in a changing environment is of great significance for advancing the scientific understanding of desertification control and improving the quality and stability of ecosystems.
This Special Issue of Water will present the latest advances in ecohydrology in arid inland river basins. Potential topics include (but are not limited to) the following: climate change and ecohydrological responses; ecohydrological models and prediction; the evolution of ecosystem hydrological processes; ecological water conveyance; water resource assessment and management.
