Overview

"In the last two decades the importance of hydrological processes in ecosystems and the effect of plants on hydrological processes have become increasingly apparant. These relationships can be grouped under the term ""Eco-hydrology"". Eco-Hydrology introduces and explores diverse plant-water interactions in a range of environments. Leading 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 stands, together with an in-depth review of scale issues and the role of mathematical models in eco-hydrology. Eco-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, and will prove invaluable as an introduction to hydrologists, ecologists, conservationists and others studying ecosystems, plant-life and hydrological processes.
