Effects of Hydrology on Soil Erosion and Soil Water Conservation

Dear Colleagues,

Water erosion is the most widely distributed type of soil erosion on earth. This Special Issue focuses on different water erosion processes, i.e., splash erosion, rill and interrill erosion, gully erosion, piping, etc., and aims to reveal the influences of different hydrodynamic processes (such as rainfall, overland flow, concentrated flow, jet flow, infiltration and subsurface flow, snowmelt runoff, etc.) on soil erosion, as well as the effects and mechanism of different soil conservation measures on water erosion. This Special Issue seeks relevant research studies employing different methods, including field investigations and experimental and model simulation, conducted on different time and spatial scales, aiming to progress this field of research and offer new perspectives related to water erosion.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
