Soil hydrology can be strongly affected by land management. Therefore, investigations aimed at assessing the impact of land management changes on soil hydrology are necessary, especially to optimize water resources. This Special Issue collects 12 original contributions addressing the state-of-the-art advances in soil hydrology for sustainable land management. These contributions cover a wide range of topics including (i) the effects of land use change, (ii) water use efficiency, (iii) erosion risk, (iv) solute transport, and (v) new methods and devices for improved characterization of soil physical and hydraulic properties. They include both field and laboratory experiments as well as modelling studies. Different spatial scales, i.e., from field to regional scales, and a wide range of geographic regions are also covered. The collection of these manuscripts presented in this Special Issue provides a relevant knowledge contribution for effective saving water resources and sustainable land management.Soil Hydrology for a Sustainable Land ManagementResearch & information: generalbicsscResearch & information: generalDi Prima Simoneedt1280902Castellini MirkoedtCerdà ArtemioedtRodrigo-Comino JesúsedtDi Prima SimoneothCastellini MirkoothCerdà ArtemioothRodrigo-Comino JesúsothBOOK9910557565703321Soil Hydrology for a Sustainable Land Management3017627UNINA
