520 |a This book provides a basis for understanding the complex physical interactions of plants and animals with their natural environment. It describes the principles by which radiative energy reaches the earth's surface and reviews the latest knowledge concerning the surface radiation budget. The processes of radiation, convection, conduction, evaporation, and carbon dioxide exchange are analyzed, and many applications of environmental physics principles are reviewed
