The subject involves a synthesis of mathematical relations that describe the physical nature of the environment and the many biological responses that environments evoke. Environmental Physics provides a basis for understanding the complex responses of plants and animals to environmental change.International concern with climate change has made both politicans and the general public much more aware of the impac 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aEcology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aEcology. 676 $a577/.1 700 $aMonteith$b John Lennox$077799 701 $aUnsworth$b M.
