Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a result of climate change and human activities, hydrological processes have undergone great changes which cannot be ignored. Simultaneously, hydrological elements, including runoff, evapotranspiration, soil moisture and precipitation, etc., also present obvious changes. These changes inevitably affect the ecosystem and its components, for example, soil and vegetation. This is a result of the close connection between hydrological processes and the ecosystem. Thus, research on the response of soil and vegetation to hydrological processes can provide a theoretical basis and technical support for ecological adjustment, biodiversity protection, and ecological restoration.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect a wide spectrum of papers which illustrate the current progress and future prospects in the response of soil and vegetation to hydrological processes.
Specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The response of soil and/or vegetation to hydrological processes in different ecosystems, including riparian ecosystems, wetlands ecosystems, and so on;
- Impacts of future hydrological changes on soil and/or vegetation;
- Impacts of specific hydrological elements (such as soil moisture, evapotranspiration) on plant community types, plant spatial distribution, and so on.
- The interaction between vegetation restoration and hydrological changes;
- Data assimilation and data merging methods for the simulation of soil and/or vegetation changes with remote sensing datasets;

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.
