Dryland Ecohydrology

"The diversity of the subject areas treated in this single book is quite amazing." "...the book calls on authors worldwide as contributors, lending itself to a very refreshing international perspective on the research being conducted in arid areas of Africa and Australia, as well as the United States." "...the authors have done a good job in linking together the subject matter and in unifying the formatting and tone..." "...for those who want a taste of the diversity of dryland processes and the role that vadose zone hydrology playes in those processes, this may be the book for you." Vadose Zone Journal 5:1065 (2006)
