In the context of contemporary global ecological and environmental challenges, maintaining ecosystem services and sustainable restoration has become a key issue. This Research Topic aims to explore how the interactions between geological conditions, soil properties, and vegetation attributes affect the provision of ecosystem services, particularly under conditions of diverse geomorphology. Through focusing on empirical research, we aim to reveal the ecological benefits of vegetation restoration under various geological and soil conditions. Additionally, this issue will discuss the role of geology in the global carbon cycle and how ecosystem service restoration can promote the achievement of sustainable development goals. Through these multidimensional studies, this special issue hopes to provide scientific foundations and new perspectives for the sustainable management and restoration of ecosystems.The goal of this Research Topic is to elucidate how geological, soil, and vegetative interactions influence ecosystem services and to explore sustainable restoration methods. We aim to leverage recent technological advancements in ecosystem monitoring and ecological modeling to enhance our understanding of these dynamics across diverse geomorphological settings.This Research Topic focuses on the interrelations among geological attributes, soil properties, and vegetation in ecosystem restoration and service enhancement. We are particularly interested in contributions that address the following themes:1. Impact of Geomorphological Diversity on processes and functions.2. Technological Advances in Ecosystem Monitoring.3. Biogeochemical Processes and Carbon Sequestration.4. Ecosystem services and sustainable Restoration Practices.5. Vegetation Dynamics and Restoration Outcomes.6. Soil-Plant Interactions in Diverse Types of Environmental Conditions.7. Ecological Benefits of Vegetation Restoration in Degraded Landscapes.8. Role of Geology in Enhancing Ecosystem Resilience.We invite submissions of Original Research articles, Review articles, and Case Studies. Each manuscript should aim to contribute to the understanding of how integrated ecological and geological approaches can advance ecosystem services and sustainable development goals.
