Beskrivning
This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of terrestrial ecohydrology, a rapidly evolving discipline focusing on the interactions of biota and water.Understanding these interactions is especially important given the pace and scale of environmental change, with climate warming, deforestation, land-use change, groundwater depletion, urbanization, and other human activities are fundamentally reshaping how water is partitioned among evaporation, transpiration, interception, infiltration, storage, and runoff. Addressing these issues, the Routledge Handbook of Terrestrial Ecohydrology provides a thorough introduction to the concepts, methods, and questions that define terrestrial ecohydrology and presents a comprehensive overview of the state of the science as it is being applied around the world. The handbook is organized into seven parts:Part 1: Ecohydrology and Water Fluxes across ScalesPart 2: Ecohydrology TheoryPart 3: Biomes in TransitionPart 4: Ecohydrology of Managed EcosystemsPart 5: Fauna and EcohydrologyPart 6: Methods in EcohydrologyPart 7: Ecohydrology and SocietyPresenting a global view, with established and up and coming international contributors, the handbook showcases how ecohydrology has matured into a vibrant, problem-driven field that is central to understanding and managing water in a rapidly changing world. The handbook concludes by weaving insights, offering design rules, measurement portfolios, and open questions that link local interventions to downstream and downwind benefits for society.The handbook is essential reading for students, scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working in the field of ecohydrology.

Mer om författaren

Bradford P. Wilcox is a Regents Professor in the Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology, Texas A&M University, USA. He is an ecohydrologist who focuses on vegetation and water interactions in savanna and woodland landscapes. Heidi Asbjornsen is a Professor at the University of New Hampshire, USA. She is an ecosystem ecologist whose research focuses on understanding plant–water interactions across scales—from leaves to watersheds—and how vegetation responses to environmental and land-use change influence hydrological regulation and other critical ecosystem services.Irena Creed is a Professor in the Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences, University of Toronto, Canada. She is an ecosystem scientist who studies how climate change alters the movement and transformation of water, carbon, and nutrients through atmospheric–terrestrial–aquatic systems, from headwater catchments to wetlands, streams, and lakes.Lixin Wang is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Indiana University Indianapolis, USA. He is an ecohydrologist who focuses on vegetation–water interactions in water-stressed ecosystems such as drylands or any ecosystems under drought conditions. Keith R. Smettem is a Professorial Fellow at Murdoch University, Australia and Emeritus Professor at The University of Western Australia. His research has spanned many scales, from the physics of preferential flow processes to the impacts of climate change on regional vegetation systems and ecohydrological feedbacks.
