Ecohydrology. Darwinian Expression of Vegetation Form and Function. 2005. illustr. XXXIX, 443 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.
This volume is devoted to the derivation and application of simplifiedbioclimatic boundary conditions at vegetated land surfaces using naturalselection of vegetation characteristicsdriven by productivity maximization. Ecohydrology bridges the fields of hydrology and ecologyand proposes new unifying principles derived from the concept of naturalselection. It also has potential application in determining the responseof vegetation to slow variations in climate and will provide fascinatingreading for graduate-level students and research scientists working inecohydrology, hydroclimatology, forest ecology, and surface water hydrology.
