We are inviting contributions to a new Special Issue on “Hydrological processes in lowlands and plains” in Hydrological Processes.
Worldwide, lowlands and plains provide important ecosystem services such as agricultural and forestry production, groundwater recharge, streamflow generation and drinking water supply. The low relief and common dry conditions in these regions often result in disorganized drainage networks with intermittent streamflow that is difficult to quantify with current approaches. However, compared to mountainous headwaters, lowland catchments and plains are still somewhat understudied. This Special Issue invites original scientific papers advancing understanding of the mechanisms underlying the movement and storage of water in lowland and plain environments, and the interaction of water with geological, biogeochemical, atmospheric and ecological systems in lowlands and plains.
The vision of Hydrological Processes is that major advances in hydrological sciences are catalyzed by novel measurement techniques and insights into the physical processes driving water fluxes across landscapes and rivers & lakes, and back to the atmosphere. Inspired by this idea, Hydrological Processes aims to be the premier hydrological sciences journal by promoting empirical and modeling efforts to better represent the hydrological processes in current theories and models. Thus, HP promotes the publication of high-quality, impactful, and rigorously reviewed process-oriented manuscripts in all the main areas of hydrology.
Importantly, papers in this Special issue will be published as soon as they are accepted (receiving a doi). Hydrological Processes also still provides proper, smooth and high quality peer review.
Please email a title, abstract and author list to Yuling Tan: yt...@wiley.com by 30th September 2023.
