ECOHYDROLOGY - VEGETATION FUNCTION, WATER AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
by Derek Eamus, Tom Hatton, Peter Cook, Christine Colvin
Ecohydrology: Vegetation Function, Water and Resource Management describes and provides a synthesis of the different disciplines required to understand the sustainable management of water in the environment in order to tackle issues such as dryland salinity and environmental water allocation. It will provide in the one volume the fundamentals of plant ecophysiology, hydrology and ecohydrology as they relate to this topic.
For the sustainable management of water in Australia and elsewhere, this important reference work will assist land managers, industry, policy makers, students and scientists achieve the required understanding of water in landscapes.
