Contents:
A. Introductory Chapter -- 1. Historical roots of forest hydrology and biogeochemistry -- B. Sampling and Novel Approaches -- 2. Sampling strategies in forest hydrology and biogeochemistry -- 3. Instrumentation -- 4. Isotopes in forest hydrology and biogeochemistry -- 5. Eddy covariance and forest hydrology flux -- 6. GIS and remote sensing: applications in forest hydrology -- C. Forest Hydrology & Biogeochemistry by Ecoregion -- 7. Tropics -- 8. Temperate -- 9. Boreal -- 10. Semiarid and Arid -- 11. Montane Cloud Forests -- D. Hydrologic and biogeochemical flux from canopy through vadose zone (w/modeling as appropriate) -- 12. Atmospheric Deposition -- 13. Canopy structure and fluxes -- 14. Transpiration -- 15. Canopy interception.- 16. Throughfall and stemflow -- 17. Forest floor interception -- 18. Season -- 19. Hillslope hydrology -- 20. Snow and flux -- 21. Pollutants -- 22. Insects, infestations and nutrient fluxes -- 23. Rhizosphere, hydrology interactions -- 24. Groundwater interactions with forest hydrology fluxes -- 25. Forests and global change -- E. Conclusion -- 26. Future research directions in forest hydrology and biogeochemistry.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This international rigorously peer-reviewed volume critically synthesizes current knowledge in forest hydrology and biogeochemistry. It is a one-stop comprehensive reference tool for researchers and practitioners in the fields of hydrology, biogeoscience, ecology, forestry, boundary-layer meteorology, and geography. Following an introductory chapter tracing the historical roots of the subject, the book is divided into the following main sections: ·        Sampling and Novel Approaches ·        Forest Hydrology and Biogeochemistry by Ecoregion and Forest Type ·        Hydrologic and Biogeochemical Fluxes from the Canopy to the Phreatic Surface ·        Hydrologic and Biogeochemical Fluxes in Forest Ecosystems: Effects of Time, Stressors, and Humans The volume concludes with a final chapter that reflects on the current state of knowledge and identifies some areas in need of further research.
