By combining the analysis of biotic and abiotic components of
terrestrial ecosystems, this volume provides a synthesis of
material on arid and semiarid landscapes, which is currently
scattered in a number of books and journal articles. The focus on
water-limited ecosystems is motivated by their high sensitivity to
daily, seasonal, and decadal perturbations in water availability,
and by the ecologic, climatic, and economic significance of most of
the world's drylands. Conceived as a tool for scientists working in
the area of the earth and environmental sciences, this book
presents the basic principles of eco-hydrology as well as a broad
spectrum of topics and advances in this research field. The
chapters have been contributed by authors with different expertise,
who work in several arid areas around the world. They describe the
various interactions among the biological and physical dynamics in
dryland ecosystems, starting from basic processes in the
soil-vegetation-climate system, to landscape-scale hydrologic and
geomorphic processes, ecohydrologic controls on soil nutrient
dynamics, and multiscale analyses of disturbances and patterns.
