In recent years, China has issued several basin-scale plans to deal
with pressing resources, environmental, and social problems caused
by regional urbanisation. These plans help push ahead flood control
and disaster reduction, the allocation, utilisation, and
conservation of water resources, water ecological environment
protection, and integrated basin management. The development of
Yangtze River Delta, the Yangtze Economic Belt, the Yellow River
Basin, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao
Greater Bay Area, etc., has now become new national agendas, which
are guaranteed by top-down policies and offer opportunities for
regional growth. Several new laws and regulations coming into
effect as of 2021 also reinforce the collaborative basin management
that drives regional social and economic development. Meanwhile,
territorial spatial planning systems established under the
requirement of Multiple-Plan Integration also underscore basin
development strategies in spatial management and ecological
restoration. This issue, mainly focusing on the regional planning
research based on water and land resources through revealing their
ecological characteristics, is expected to include contribution to
the following aspects (but is not limited to): 1) Research on
regional ecology, land use, and ecosystem service at the basin
scale 2) Research on theories, approaches, and practices relevant
to basin spatial planning and ecological restoration 3) Research on
spatial strategies and economic zoning to propel basin-scale social
and economic development 4) Research on basin-scale collaborative
planning and sustainable development of water resources and
environmental protection 5) Integrated basin management planning
geared to guaranteeing basins' ecosystem services 6) ecological
river-corridor conservation and restoration at the basin scale In
all these topics, researchers and planners are called to act as
leaders in interdisciplinary collaboration within the fields of
biology, geography, geology, and the climate sciences to solve
ecological and environmental problems by treating the water network
of a basin, as a whole. In this issue, LA Frontiers also attempts
to learn from cutting-edge exemplars worldwide in basin management,
especially in ecosystem conservation and restoration, to provide
reference for Chinese researchers and practitioners.
