About the Book

This volume represents a revised discussion of the physical processes which determine how living organisms respond to their environment. It includes material on topics such as the effect of aerosol on solar radiation at the ground, transmission of radiation in crops stands, radioactive properties and remote sensing. The authors review the relevant basic physics and discuss radiation and heat exchange and mass and momentum transfer, applying the principles to the heat balance of plants and animals and to the micrometeorology of crops.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Scope of environmental physics. Part 2 Gas laws: pressure, volume and temperature; specific heats; lapse rate; water and water vapour; other gases. Part 3 Transport laws: general transfer equation; molecular transfer processes; diffusion coefficients; radiation laws. Part 4 Radiation environment: solar radiation, terrestrial radiation, net radiation. Part 5 Microclimatology of radiation - interception; direct solar radiation; diffuse radiation; crop canopies. Part 6 Microclimatology of radiation - absorption and reflection; radioactive properties of natural materials; net radiation. Part 7 Momentum transfer; boundary layers; drag forces on isolated objects; wind profiles and drag on uniform surfaces; lodging and wind throw. Part 8 Heat transfer: non-dimensional groups; measurements of convection; conduction; insulation of animals. Part 9 Mass transfer - gases and water vapour: non-dimensional groups; measurement of mass transfer; mass transfer through pores. Part 10 Mass transfer - particles: equations of motion; particle deposition. Part 11 Steady state heat balance - water surfaces and vegetation: heat balance equation; heat balance of thermometers; heat balance of surfaces. Part 12 Steady state heat balance - animals: heat balance components; the thermo-neutral diagram; specification of the environment. Part 13 Heat balance - transient: time constant; heat flow in soil. Part 15 Crop micrometeorology - profiles and fluxes: profiles; stability; stability measurement of flux above the canopy. Part 15 Crop micrometereology - interpretation of measurements: resistance analogues; case studies - water vapour and transpiration, carbon dioxide and growth, sulphur dioxide and pollutant fluxes to crops; transport within canopies.
