Advances in bioclimatology, Vol. 1
Bioclimatology has rapidly grown during the last three decades, with its major contributions being in the development of techniques and instrumentation for measurement, and understanding the biophysical processes governing the exchange of mass and energy on various scales ranging from individual leaves to plant communities. The literature published on the subject is rather abundant, but scattered in several specialized journals. The series in Advances in Bioclimatology seeks to summarize the latest progress in the field. In particular, this book addresses the exchange of mass at different spatial scales, light transfer within plant canopies, impact of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) on biosphere productivity and climate, and regional water balance.
