Ecohydrology : Darwinian expression of vegetation form and function /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

"Ecohydrology bridges the fields of hydrology and ecology and proposes new unifying principles derived from the concept of natural selection. It also has potential application in determining the response of vegetation to slow variations in climate. This book will therefore provide fascinating r...
