The conversion of grasslands, croplands, shrublands, or bare lands to forests can dramatically alter forest water, energy, and carbon cycles and, thus, ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration, soil erosion control, and water quality improvement). Large-scale afforestation/reforestation is typically driven by policies and, in turn, can also have substantial socioeconomic impacts. To enable success, forestation endeavors require novel approaches that involve a series of complex processes and interdisciplinary sciences. For example, exotic or fast-growing tree species are often used to improve soil conditions of degraded lands or maximize productivity, and it often takes a long time to understand and quantify the consequences of such practices at watershed or regional scales. Maintaining the sustainability of man-made forests is becoming increasingly challenging under a changing environment and disturbance regime changes such as wildland fires, urbanization, drought, air pollution, climate change, and socioeconomic change. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on case studies of the drivers, dynamics, and impacts of afforestation/reforestation at regional, national, or global scales. These new studies provide an update on the scientific advances related to forestation. This information is urgently needed by land managers and policy makers to better manage forest resources in today's rapidly changing environments. 610 $asimulation modeling 610 $ashear strength 610 $astand structure 610 $avegetation restoration 610 $asurface runoff 610 $asoil and water conservation function 610 $asoil enzymes 610 $ariverbank 610 $aevapotranspiration 610 $ahuman activity 610 $aafforestation 610 $aArtemisia ordosica 610 $aforest cover 610 $aprecipitation variation 610 $asoil bioengineering 610 $abase flow 610 $aPoyang Lake Basin 610 $ain situ calibration 610 $aquantification 610 $achlorophyll fluorescence 610 $aphotoprotection 610 $aremote sensing 610 $aroot distribution 610 $aecosystem model 610 $aCASA 610 $aafforestation ecosystem 610 $aphenophase 610 $avegetation cover change 610 $asoil characteristics 610 $aRobinia pseudoacacia L. and Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. mixed plantations 610 $acomposted pine bark 610 $awater-energy balance 610 $asediment load 610 $asoil respiration 610 $aenergy partitioning 610 $asoil microbial biomass 610 $atranspiration 610 $anet primary productivity 610 $aspatio-temporal scales 610 $aseedling quality 610 $apeat moss 610 $afresh pine sawdust 610 $aunderstory plants 610 $aring-porous trees 610 $adifferent climatic conditions 610 $adye tests 610 $astructural equation model 610 $aLoess Plateau 610 $aevapotranspiration (ET) 610 $aPinus engelmannii Carr. 610 $aempirical statistics 610 $aheat dissipation probes 610 $aMODIS 610 $aslope change ratio of cumulative quantities (SCRCQ) 610 $asoil water balance 610 $aLAI 610 $aclimate fluctuation 610 $aBTOPMC model 610 $aliving brush mattress 610 $avegetation greening 610 $astreamflow 700 $aHao$b Lu$01786964 702 $aSun$b Ge 702 $aZhang$b Zhiqiang 702 $aXiao$b Jingfeng 702 $aDong$b Gang 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367752403321 996 $aAfforestation and Reforestation$94319524 997 $aUNINA
