Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increasing trends in anthropogenic managements and global climate change have significantly altered the ecohydrological cycles. Consider nitrogen as an example: the intensive agricultural practises have doubled reactive N inputs to the terrestrial biosphere compared to pre-industrial levels; this excess has become a leading cause of eutrophication in rivers, estuaries, and coastal ecosystems worldwide.
Ecohydrological modelling provides novel insights into the impacts of the changing environment on water and biogeochemistry cycling, thus establishing a robust evidence base for management strategies. This Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing the latest achievements in the development and application of ecohydrological models.
I invite contributions that cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Development of ecohydrological models;
- Development and applications of technologies to improve ecohydrological modelling (e.g., novel uncertainty analysis, data assimilation);
- Applications of ecohydrological models at plot-scale to unveil the interplay between local ecohydrological fluxes;
- Plot-scale applications of ecohydrological models to explore the role of lateral hydrological connectivity and its impacts on ecohydrological cycling;
- Regional-scale applications of ecohydrological models to identify the ecohydrological response to anthropogenic managements and climate change;
- Global-scale applications of ecohydrological models to investigate regional characteristics and controlling factors for large-scale ecohydrological cycling.
I look forward to your submissions to advance our understanding of ecohydrological cycling in changing environments.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind 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.
