The relationship between water availability and plant ecology has probably exercised the human mind longer than any other environmental relationship. The very early use of irrigation in neolithic agriculture implies some ability to predict fluctuations in water levels, which is still the fundamental question of modern hydrology. The facility with which factors such as rainfall interception, run-off, soil and groundwater storage can be quantified attracts to hydrology minds that delight in the ability to pursue physical models and make predictions that draw largely on definable non-biological phenomena. Biological factors with their intrinsic tendency for uncertainty and variation have been limited hitherto in hydrological calculations to the more dependable properties of biomes such as albedo, interception and evapotranspiration. It is therefore very refreshing to have this collection of essays that deal specifically with contrasting ecological situations and highlight the very powerful modifying and variable influences that vegetation cover exerts on hydrological prediction.
