| Summary |
Annotation "Principles of Soil and Plant Water Relations follows water as it moves through the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC). Developed from award-winning lectures for a Kansas State University graduate class, this text applies fundamental laws and principles in physics, chemistry, and biology to the concepts and the movement of water in the SPAC. Information is clearly presented with the aid of professionally drawn diagrams, anatomical figures, and images of instrumentation. Chapters combine theory and practice, and include a variety of instrumentation examples and research approaches to measure soil and plant water status." "Intended for graduate students in plant and soil science programs, this book also serves as a useful reference for agronomists, plant ecologists, and agricultural engineers."--BOOK JACKET. |
