Book excerpt: Water-Soil-Vegetation Nexus and Climate Change presents a broad overview of the research needs and approaches regarding water-soil-vegetation nexus and climate change. It includes chapters discussing water budget and factors that affect hydrologic processes such as precipitation, runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, soil water, and groundwater, in addition to a focus on consumptive (e.g., domestic and irrigation) and non-consumptive (e.g., eco-environmental) water uses, and water shortage. Throughout Water-Soil-Vegetation Nexus and Climate Change chapters specifically deal with the fundamental principles and also case studies, applications, and decision support tools, that can be usable for developing practical management measures in sustaining our eco-environment and society by maintaining an optimal water-soil-vegetation equilibrium. Written with water resources students and professors in mind, this book will provide the reader with further knowledge on the water-soil-vegetation nexus and its connection to climate change. - Includes both principles and applications, providing the reader with options for both application types as needed - Emphasizes the nexuses rather than individual processes, allowing the reader to understand the whole picture - Presents case studies and decision support tools that can be used for developing practical management measures in changing climate
