Chao Zhao, Feilong Xu, Lu Yu, and Jiangli Guo. We would like to thank all the
people from Science Press and Springer Nature who were involved in the publication of this book.
There is an interesting saying that no one believes a hypothesis except its
originator but everyone believes an experiment except the experimenter, because to
transfer the experimental results through the analogy to larger landforms is so
difficult. Confirmation of the experimental results must come from field investigations. Hence, more field experiments are anticipated with the precise observation
of the process and strict control of the boundary in the near future. Another limitation of the book is that most of the authors are scientists from China. I am afraid
that language problems still exist although we have done a great endeavor. We
sincerely welcome any comments and criticisms from those who use it.
