Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water is the great integrator, bringing all people from all places and backgrounds together in a common space. Watershed water resources science and management integrates natural and anthropogenic forces including forests and mixed-land-use (including urban) management, flooding and floodplain management, water quality, plant-water relations, soil sciences, environmental and atmospheric sciences, watershed, conservation and environmental chemistry, atmospheric science, environmental biophysics, wildlife and fisheries resources (includes large river ecosystems); wetland management, recreation, parks and tourism, water economics, human dimensions of water, water governance, and stakeholder engagement, and many other associated and / or integrated disciplines. However, independent, in-tandem and cumulative anthropogenic drivers (e.g., human population growth mediated land-use, climate change, and other related pressures) confound the uncertainties of decision-making in natural (wildland) and mixed-use (anthropic) watersheds, and many critical information gaps remain. This Special Issue of Water focuses on water resources science and management in forested and mixed-land-use watersheds. Articles will be considered that address all aspects of water resources research in watersheds. In addition to traditional research manuscripts, articles may include advancements in effective ways of conducting watershed research and communicating results to promote deliberate advancements in science and management, human well-being, and resource sustainability.
