Such relationships are grouped under the term "Eco-hydrology." "Eco-Hydrology" introduces and explores diverse plant-water interactions in a range of environments. Leaders in the field present reviews of the eco-hydrology of several ecosystems. This is the first book to offer an overview of the complex relationships between plants and water across a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic environments. |

Publisher Description: iEco-Hydrology is the first book to offer an overview of the complex relationships between plants and water across a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic environments. Leading ecologists and hydrologists present reviews of the eco-hydrology of drylands, wetlands, temperate and tropical rain forests, streams, and rivers and lakes. Contents include: * background information on the water relations of plants, from individual cells to strands of plants * the role of mathematical models in eco-hydrology * explanations of how plants affect patterns and rates of water movement and storage in a range of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. |
