Editorial: Climate change, land surface, and critical zone processes in endorheic basins.

This article is an editorial published in Frontiers in Environmental Science that focuses on the impact of climate change, land surface processes, and critical zone processes in endorheic basins. Endorheic basins are land-locked drainage systems that do not drain into rivers leading to the ocean. These basins are highly sensitive to climate change and human activities, but our understanding of the processes and fluxes in these areas is limited. The editorial highlights several studies that investigate the hydrological impacts of climate change, the movement of sediments, the unique hydrochemistry of these basins, and the effects of drought and vegetation changes. The authors emphasize the need for precise water resource management and climate adaptation strategies in these regions. [Extracted from the article]
