From the Atacama Desert to the Amazon rainforest, Latin America and the Caribbean host some of the planet’s most diverse and understudied hydrological systems. This special issue highlights research across extreme climate gradients, unique ecosystems, and rapidly changing landscapes. The contributions explore how water is stored, mixed, and transported, and how vegetation, landforms, and land-use change shape the hydrological cycle. Together, these studies advance understanding of water processes in one of the world’s most environmentally diverse regions.
