Environmental Mechanics depicts the state of the science in relation to the soil-plant-atmosphere thermodynamic continuum. Inspired by the path breaking work of John Philip, scientists consider these major areas, and more:
* Fundamentals of water movement and solute transport in soils and other porous media. Analytic and numerical analyses of flow and transport processes in rigid and swelling systems.For scientists, researchers, and students of environmental mechanics, hydrology, soil physics, micrometerology, and ecology.
