Advances in Ecohydrology in Arid Inland River Basins

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. The resilience of ecosystems to external disturbances has degraded. Intense 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 ecosystem systems. 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. The aim of this Special Issue of Water is to present the latest advances in ecohydrology in arid inland river basins. The potential topics include but not limited to: climate change and ecohydrological responses, ecohydrological models and prediction, evolution of ecosystem hydrological processes, ecological water conveyance, water resources assessment and management.

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-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.
