Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. Trees can grow for decades to millennia, to heights of over 100 meters, their crowns can spread for more than 30m, and their root systems can extend over 10 meters into the earth. Trees interact with water in a variety of ways: providing surfaces which trap rainfall and snow, and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, they regulate how much water gets to the forest floor, and they pull water from the soil, holding it in their tissues before allowing it to transpire back in to the air through stomata in their leaves.The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century to the present day. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. More research has been carried out into the effects of extreme events on forests such as hurricanes, drought and wildfires. This book has been written by a selection of internationally renowned scientists, engineers, managers and researchers with a view to presenting the latest thinking in forest hydrology.The book covers hydrological processes in all latitudes and terrains, examines state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodology, and describes the latest types of management in the face of disturbance from events caused by climate change. The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, and researchers with a good understanding of basic principles of forest hydrology and hydrologic processes
