The special issue aims to advance our understanding on existing and new techniques, methods, and applications of microwave remote sensing for vegetation–water interactions. We welcome studies that use active or passive microwave satellite, airborne, tower, and field observations to monitor processes, states, and temporal dynamics of vegetation–water interactions by
- developing and evaluating microwave radiative transfer models for vegetation and water;
- retrieving land surface variables through radiative transfer model inversion, machine learning, or hybrid approaches;
- evaluating and constraining land surface, ecosystem, crop, forest, and hydrological models with microwave observations; and
- assessing field experiments on the impacts of plant water dynamics on microwave observations.
