About the Book

Understanding ecosystem structure and function requires familiarity with the techniques, knowledge and concepts of the three disciplines of plant physiology, remote sensing and modelling. This is the first textbook to provide the fundamentals of these three domains in a single volume. It then applies cross-disciplinary insights to multiple case studies in vegetation and landscape science. A key feature of these case studies is an examination of relationships among climate, vegetation structure and vegetation function, to address fundamental research questions. This book is for advanced students and researchers who need to understand and apply knowledge from the disciplines of plant physiology, remote sensing and modelling. It allows readers to integrate and synthesise knowledge to produce a holistic understanding of the structure, function and behaviour of forests, woodlands and grasslands.

Table of Contents:
Preface; Part I. Plant Ecophysiology: 1. An introduction to biogeography: broad-scale relationships amongst climate, vegetation distribution and vegetation attributes; 2. An introduction to plant structure and ecophysiology; 3. Water relations, hydraulic architecture and transpiration by plants; Part II. Remote Sensing: 4. Remote sensing: introduction and overview; 5. Fundamentals and physical principles of remote sensing; 6. Satellite sensors and platforms; 7. Remote sensing of landscape biophysical properties; Part III. Modelling: 8. An introduction to modelling in plant ecophysiology; 9. Modelling radiation exchange of leaves and canopies; 10. Modelling leaf and canopy photosynthesis; 11. Modelling stomatal conductance; 12.

Boreal forests; 15. Arid and semi-arid grasslands; 16. Case study: savannas; 17. Seasonal behaviour of vegetation of the Amazon Basin; 18. Case study: tropical montane forests; 19. Groundwater dependent ecosystems; 20. Global change drought and forest mortality; Index.
