Note publique d'information : By combining the analysis of biotic and abiotic components of terrestrial ecosystems,
this book synthesizes material on arid and semiarid landscapes, which was previously
scattered among various books and journal articles. It focuses on water-limited ecosystems,
which are highly sensitive to fluctuations in hydrologic conditions and, in turn,
play an important role in affecting the regional water cycle. Intended as a tool for
scientists working in the area of the earth and environmental sciences, this book
presents the basic principles of eco-hydrology as well as a broad spectrum of topics
and advances in this research field. Written by authors with diverse areas of expertise
who work in arid areas around the world, the contributions describe the various interactions
between the biological and physical dynamics in dryland ecosystems, ranging from basic
processes in the soil-vegetation-climate system, to landscape-scale hydrologic and
geomorphic processes, ecohydrologic controls on soil nutrient dynamics, and multiscale
analyses of disturbances and patterns.
