Living Landscapes: Soil–Forest–Water Systems and Resource Sustainability

This Special Issue of the Journal of Biomedical Research & Environmental Sciences (JBRES) invites high-quality submissions that strengthen the evidence base for sustainable landscape management. We welcome work that improves ecosystem understanding, clarifies interconnections, and demonstrates resilience and resource sustainability across diverse terrestrial and aquatic systems.

Soil–Forest Interactions
Soil health, carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, forest regeneration, mycorrhizal networks, land-use impacts.
Water & Landscape Sustainability
Ecohydrology, watershed management, groundwater recharge, climate adaptation, restoration practices, resource equity.

About this Special Issue

Landscape sustainability is strongest when it connects soil, forest, and water processes with long-term resource outcomes. This Special Issue focuses on living landscapes—from integrated ecosystem dynamics and biogeochemical cycles to climate-resilient management, restoration, and policy-relevant evaluation. We especially welcome submissions that report transparent methods, measurable endpoints, and insights that can improve environmental integrity, biodiversity, and human–nature resilience.

Preference is given to studies with clear outcomes (carbon stocks, water quality, biodiversity metrics, resilience indicators), robust analysis, and a concise “What this changes in practice” statement.
