Recenzii
'This new book is undoubtedly a pioneering work, providing the readership with a theoretical background in water-soil-vegetation-atmosphere relationships, thus referring to a very important border region between several sciences … illustrated with ample good quality black and white photographs of trees.' Hydrological Sciences Journal
'Ecohydrology: Darwinian Expression of Vegetation Form and Function, written by one of the most renowned hydrologists, has provided a major contribution through novel interpretation of natural selection in forested communities based on insolation and rainfall … Splendid photographs of trees, many by the author, appear throughout the text and provide a continuous reminder of the form and function described mathematically … Eagleson's Ecohydrology is a monumental work that will engage students and researchers from all backgrounds of ecohydrology.' EOS
