"Principles of Environmental Physics: Plants, Animals, and the
Atmosphere, 4e, "provides a basis for understanding the complex
physical interactions of plants and animals with their natural
environment. It is the essential reference to provide environmental
and ecological scientists and researchers with the physical
principles, analytic tools, and data analysis methods they need to
solve problems. This book describes the principles by which
radiative energy reaches the earth s surface and reviews the latest
knowledge concerning the surface radiation budget. The processes of
radiation, convection, conduction, evaporation, and carbon dioxide
exchange are analyzed. Many applications of environmental physics
principles are reviewed, including the roles of surface albedo and
atmospheric aerosols in modifying microclimate and climate, remote
sensing of vegetation properties, wind forces on trees and crops,
dispersion of pathogens and aerosols, controls of evaporation from
vegetation and soil (including implications of changing weather and
climate), and interpretation of micrometeorological measurements of
carbon dioxide and other trace gas fluxes.
Presents a unique synthesis of micrometeorology and ecology in its
widest senseDeals quantitatively with the impact of weather on
living systems but also with the interactions between organisms and
the atmosphere that are a central feature of life on earthOffers
numerous worked examples and problems with solutionsProvides many
examples of laboratory and field measurements and their
interpretationIncludes an up-to-date bibliography and review of
recent micrometeorological applications in forestry, ecology,
hydrology, and agriculture"
