**About the Editors**

#### **Yanhui Wang**

Prof. Dr. Yanhui Wang is a leading researcher at the Ecology and Nature Conservation Institute of Chinese Academy of Forestry. He is interested in the research of forest ecohydrology, forest soil, and multifunctional forest management, especially in the dryland regions. His current research areas mainly focus on the effects of site and stand conditions on forest growth and related hydrological and ecosystem services, forest–water coordination, and the multifunctional management of forests at different scales. The main goals of his current research are to improve forest management for a balanced supply of multiple desired forest ecosystem services based on enhanced forest stability against environmental stresses.

#### **Karl-Heinz Feger**

Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Feger is a leading scientist at the Institute of Soil Science and Site Ecology, Technische Universitat Dresden, Germany. He is interested in the interacting fields of hydrology, soil ¨ science, and forest and landscape ecology. His current research areas mainly focus on soil–water–forest interactions, site effects on water flow after forestation, ecosystem services, and the carbon sequestration of forests. The main goals of his current research are to improve the understanding of site–water–forest–landscape interactions, ecosystem services of forests, and integrated watershed management.

#### **Lulu Zhang**

Dr. Lulu Zhang at the United Nations University Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES) specializes in the impact assessment of land-based interventions, anthropogenic activities, and climate change on soil–water–vegetation–atmosphere interactions. At UNU, she further grows her expertise into the integrated resource management of agriculture and forest systems under global change conditions by applying a Resource Nexus approach at various scales, and across disciplines and sectors. The aim is to unlock the potential of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems to meet future demands without further depleting finite natural resources.
