Opis

Rigorous yet accessible textbook on ecohydrology for advanced students, and a reference for researchers, professionals, and engineers.

Recenzje

'This book is an excellent resource for graduate students in the developing, highly interdisciplinary field of Ecohydrology. It covers the whole range from the theoretical background and main concepts to describe the dynamics within soils, ecosystems, and the atmosphere, as well as how these approaches are implemented in simple models and applied to actual problems. This material is presented with great rigor and clarity, with supporting exercises to reflect on the described concepts.' Axel Kleidon, Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry
