^iEco-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. Leading ecologists and hydrologists present reviews of the eco-hydrology of drylands, wetlands, temperate and tropical rain forests, streams, and rivers and lakes. Contents include: * background information on the water relations of plants, from individual cells to strands of plants * the role of mathematical models in eco-hydrology * explanations of how plants affect patterns and rates of water movement and storage in a range of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Leading ecologists and hydrologists present reviews of the eco-hydrology of drylands, wetlands, temperate and tropical rain forests, streams, and rivers and lakes.

Derived from an undergraduate course taught by the author, this
accessible book seeks to challenge and provoke readers by posing a
series of topical questions concerning climate change and society.
Topic summaries provide answers to technical, socio-economic and
moral questions surrounding the deployment of climate science.
These include how to build and test a climate model, whom and what
is most at risk from climate change, and whether we should
geoengineer the climate. Practical exercises and case studies
provide deeper insights by taking readers through role-play
activities and authentic climate change projects. Supporting
materials, including notes for instructors and students, graphics,
video-clips, games, and online resources, offer scope for further
private study and group work. With a focus on applying climate
science in practice, this book is ideal for students of geography,
natural science, engineering and economics, as well as
practitioners involved in the climate service industry.
