520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Combines biology and physics to illustrate water movement through the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. This revised edition of an essential text describes the principles of water relations within soils, followed by the uptake of water and its subsequent movement throughout and from the plant body. This is presented as a progressive series of physical and biological interrelations, and each topic is treated in detail on its own. This book also describes the equipment used to measure water in the soil-plant-atmosphere system. At the end of each chapter is a biography of a scientist whose principles are discussed in the chapter. In addition to new information on the concept of celestial time, this new edition also includes chapters on methods to determine sap flow in plants and the dual-probe heat-pulse technique to monitor water in the root zone.--COVER
