About this Special Issue<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Droughts are among the greatest threats to sustainable development. Forecasts estimate that by 2050 droughts may affect over three-quarters of the world\u2019s population. The number and duration of droughts has increased by 29% since 2000, as compared to the two previous decades (WMO 2021). Simultaneously, desertification, defined as land degradation in dry-subhumid, semi-arid, and arid regions, has exacerbated over the last decades, risking expansive lands across the world. The combined impact of \u2018natural\u2019 and anthropogenic factors has exaggerated the stressors imposed on rangelands, forest lands, and croplands, risking their functioning and lowering their potential productivity. The resulted in environmental degradation has elevated the risk to water and food security for enormous populations, and particularly in developing countries.<\/p>\n

In addition to soil science, we invite relevant submissions from related disciplines such as agronomy, environmental science, forestry, hydrology, and physical geography.<\/p>\n

Any type of manuscripts (original research, review articles, opinion pieces) are welcome.<\/p>\n
