**Preface**

The aim of this collection of papers is to present new research achievements in the field of forest ecohydrology and the forest–water interaction to related researchers and practitioners. It consists of 12 papers, referring to drought tolerance mechanisms, the hydrological properties of soil and litter layers, variation in solar radiation within stands, snowpack isotopic composition in open and forested areas, canopy transpiration and response to the main influencing factors, and water balance components of typical forests at different regions with various climates. We hope that this book can contribute to the theoretical development of forest ecohydrology and the innovative practice of integrated forest–water management to enhance the balanced supply of hydrological and other ecosystem services from forests.
