Water-Soil-Vegetation Nexus and Climate Change
presents a broad overview of the research needs and approaches
regarding water-soil-vegetation nexus and climate change. It includes
chapters discussing water budget and factors that affect hydrologic
processes such as precipitation, runoff, infiltration,
evapotranspiration, soil water, and groundwater, in addition to a focus
on consumptive (e.g., domestic and irrigation) and non-consumptive
(e.g., eco-environmental) water uses, and water shortage.
Throughout Water-Soil-Vegetation Nexus and Climate Change chapters
specifically deal with the fundamental principles and also case
studies, applications, and decision support tools, that can be usable
for developing practical management measures in sustaining our
eco-environment and society by maintaining an optimal
water-soil-vegetation equilibrium. Written with water resources students
and professors in mind, this book will provide the reader with further
knowledge on the water-soil-vegetation nexus and its connection to
climate change.
- Includes both principles and applications, providing the reader with options for both application types as needed
- Emphasizes the nexuses rather than individual processes, allowing the reader to understand the whole picture
- Presents
case studies and decision support tools that can be used for developing
practical management measures in changing climate
