Climate change and the intensification of human activities can induce unprecedented alterations in global hydrological and ecological systems. Under the warming world, ecological systems have different hydrological responses to changes in climate and human activities and have different water demands in different basins or regions. However, the hydrological and ecological system response remains uncertain. Water resources management and ecological restoration under a changing world need to elucidate its hydrological and ecological response and then provide a suitable way to adapt to global change.
This Research Topic aims to collect and present the latest research developments in hydrological and ecological response in different basins or regions and its implication for water resources management and ecological restoration. Articles published in this Research Topic would elucidate divergent evidence in hydrological and ecological response, explain it with new and deep insight, and interpret its implication for ecological water demand, water resources management and planning, ecological restoration. These articles are expected to benefit communities, basins, and government agencies in water and ecosystem management that deal with hydrological and ecological responses in changing world.
High-quality Original Research and Review articles in this field are all welcome for submission to this Research Topic. Research interests include but are not limited to the following areas:
• Vegetation greening or changing and its hydrological mechanism in different climate regions
• Interaction of hydrological and ecological processes in the river, reservoir/lake, wetland, and basin
• Hydrological and ecological response with the intensity of human activities within urban regions
• Hydrological and ecological model,eco-hydrological processes, and modeling
• Evapotranspiration alteration and its implication
• Impacts of climate change and human activities on hydrology and water resources
• Ecological water demand or environmental flow
• Water resources management and planning under uncertainty
• 3S technology for ecological and hydrological management and modelling
• Drought and flood impacts assessment
