N2 - The special issue on new findings on the influence of biological factors on hydrological processes, edited by the authors of this Introduction, brings together 14 full-text journal papers on the complex interactions related to the air-plant-water interface. Eight papers deal with the impact of biocrusts and vegetation on soil hydro-physical properties, five papers present the effect of an addition of bio-based materials (biochar, cattle manure, compost, leaf litter, and wastewater sludge) on soil properties and carbon retention/sequestration, and one paper deals with an impact of alterations of vegetation on earthworm population. We hope that the papers published in this special issue will open new research perspectives and contribute to finding solutions to the global threats of water scarcity, food security and soil degradation.
