Comprehensive overview of the process dynamics and interactions governing ecohydrological interfaces Summarizing the interdisciplinary investigation of ecohydrological interface function, this book advances the understanding of their dynamics across subject boundaries. Overall, it offers a detailed explanation of the underlying processes and interactions governing ecohydrological interface functioning from the micro scale to the ecosystem and regional scale. The multidisciplinary team of authors integrates and compares knowledge of the functioning of different ecohydrological interfaces to develop a unifying concept of their functions and process dynamics. The work introduces novel experimental and model-based methods for characterizing and quantifying ecohydrological interface processes, taking account of innovative sensing and tracing technologies as well as microbial and molecular biology approaches. Key questions addressed in the book include: Which conditions stimulate the transformative nature of ecohydrological interfaces? How are ecohydrological interfaces organized in space and time? How does interface activity propagate from small to large scales? How do ecohydrological interfaces react to environmental change and what is their role in processes of significant societal value?As a research level guide on the functionality and performance of ecohydrological interfaces, this book is primarily aimed at academics and postgraduate researchers. It is also appropriate for university libraries as �further reading� on a range of geographical, environmental, biological, and engineering topics.

Named after Maximilian I's literary alter ego, Freydal is the largest extant tournament book of the Late Middle Ages, inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World program. This publication from Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum commemorates the 500th anniversary of Maximilian's death, combining for the first time all 255 gold- and silver-...
