DEGREESiEco-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...

Since 1980 the importance of hydrological processes in ecosystems and the effect of plants on hydrological processes have become increasingly apparent. These relationships can be grouped under the term eco-hydrology. This work introduces and explores diverse plant-water interactions in a range of environments. Ecologists and hydrologists present reviews of the eco-hydrology of drylands, wetlands, temperate and tropical rain-forests, streams, and rivers and lakes. The authors present background information on the water relations of plants, from individual cells to strands, together with a...
