Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change and human activities in the Anthropocene have significantly altered terrestrial hydrological cycling and water-associated mass transfer routines, leading to a wide range of environmental and ecosystem changes. Understanding how natural and anthropogenic forces have been operating on water and associated surface land processes across hotspot changing landscapes, as well as their potential environmental and ecosystem implications, are critical in expanding our current knoelwdge and informing sustainable management practices.
The objective of this Special Issue is to provide the reader with the recent advances in understanding water and associated surface land processes across changing landscapes, using a wide variety of observation techniques. Research papers related to, but are not limited to, hydrological cycle in complex geographical context (e.g., the Karst area, mountain area), its responses to various driving forces and implications for ecosystem restoration practices, as well as water-related mass transport dynamics are expected.
Hydrological deviations have considerably exerted off-site consequences on fluvial geomorphological, environmental, and ecological processes, thus determining channel connectivity, geomorphological evolution, freshwater quality, and aquatic ecosystem health. Contributions dealing with the fluvial responses to changes in the extent and intensity of terrestrial mass dynamics will be also preferred for publication.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
