Drylands are areas where AI is <0.65, collectively incorporating subhumid, semiarid, arid and hyperarid settings (UNEP 1997; see Fig. 1). Wetlands in drylands (hereafter WiDs) have distinctive hydrogeomorphological, biogeochemical, ecological, and social-ecological features, and as a result, they require carefully tailored research and management strategies.enHydrogeomorphologyBiogeochemistryEcosystem servicesMedicinal plantsWater qualityArticle
