This is presented as a progressive series of physical and  biological interrelations, even though each topic is treated in detail  on its own. The book also describes equipment used to measure water in  the soil-plant-atmosphere system. At the end of each chapter is a  biography of a scientist whose principles are discussed in the chapter.  In addition to new information on the concept of celestial time, this  new edition also includes new chapters on methods to determine sap flow  in plants dual-probe heat-pulse technique to monitor water in the root  zone.
