Publisher's Synopsis
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.
