Special issue: New findings on the influence of biological factors on hydrological processes

Submission status
Closed

Biohydrology is the study of the interactions between living organisms and hydrology. The proposed Special issue on the impact of biological factors on hydrological processes seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status and challenges in the field of biohydrology, ranging from reductionist research on the interaction between specific organisms and hydrological processes to systems research that encompasses a vast array of biological and hydrological processes operating at much larger scales. We aim to gather high-quality research papers that explore various aspects of this subject, including but not limited to:

1. The measurement and modelling of hydrological processes influenced by biological factors at various scales.

2. Managing soils to improve interactions between biology and hydrology.

3. Interactions between agriculture and catchment hydrology.

4. Influence of biological factors on soil hydrological processes in natural systems.

5. Changing biohydrology for soil sustainability.

6. Utility of industrial by-products for agriculture and green infrastructure.
