专刊介绍
Introduction
森林覆盖了全球三分之一的陆地面积，供应了世界上50%的饮用水。森林通过能量循环、水循环和碳循环等多种生态水文过程，影响着水资源。在这些过程中，森林能够调节供水、水净化、流量调节、土壤保护和气候缓解等多项与水相关的生态服务。基于森林在水资源中的关键作用，理解并管理森林与水的关系，对保障水资源的供给和维持相关生态服务尤为重要。
由于人类活动，比如森林采伐、再造林、植树造林、土地利用变更和城市化，森林正经历着显著的变化。此外，森林还面临自然干扰的挑战，如野火、虫害和干旱，特别是随着未来气候变化的加剧，干旱和野火等威胁将更加严重，削弱森林的恢复能力，和影响森林与水资源的关系，危及与水相关的生态系统服务的稳定性。
因此，进一步研究气候变化和森林变化对水资源的影响，并制定能够增强森林水文恢复力的管理策略，以在环境不断变化的背景下保障水资源相关服务，显得尤为重要。
在2024年6月24–29日于瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行的第26届IUFRO世界大会上，IUFRO森林与水工作组组织了多场会议（包括主题会议、技术会议和海报展示），探讨了森林、气候和水之间关系的最新研究成果。该工作组强调了在研究和管理中采用跨学科和整体方法，对于理解森林-气候-水关系及其恢复力至关重要。本期专刊旨在进一步推动在这些关键领域的科学交流。
Forests cover one-third of global landmass and supply 50% of the world’s drinking water. They influence water resources through various ecohydrological processes, such as energy, water and carbon cycling at multiple scales. In doing so, forests regulate multiple water-related ecosystem services, such as water supply, water purification, flow regulation, soil protection and climate mitigation. Given these critical roles, understanding and managing the forest-water nexus would be crucial for water provision and water-related functions and services.
Forests are undergoing significant changes due to anthropogenic activities like forest harvesting, reforestation, afforestation, land use change and urbanization, as well as and natural disturbances including wildfire, insect infestation and drought. These disturbances, especially drought and wildfires, are expected to intensify with future climate change, posing threats to forest resilience and the forest-water nexus. This in turn jeopardizes the stability of water-related ecosystem services.
Thus, further research is needed to explore the impacts of climate and forest changes on water provision and to develop forest management strategies that enhance the hydrological resilience of forest ecosystems and sustain water-related services in a changing environment.
At the 26th IUFRO World Congress in Stockholm, Sweden (June 24–29, 2024), the IUFRO Forest and Water Task Force organized various sessions (sub-plenary, technical and postal) to discuss recent research findings on the forest-climate-water nexus. The Task Force emphasized the critical need for an interdisciplinary and holistic approach in both research and management to understand this nexus and its resilience. This Special Issue aims to further advance scientific communication on these key areas.
