"The third revised edition offers exhaustive information
regarding
concepts, processes and fundamental principles of forest
hydrology.
This publication discusses functional properties, distributions
of
water, forests and precipitation, humidity, runoff, soils and
sedimentation and also research approaches in the forest and water.
In
addition, the watershed management and practical applications in
forest
hydrology and water recourse managements are also discussed in
this
book."
—Nachrichten, Neue Publikationen,2013Praise for the First EditionA
textbook for most forest hydrology courses should not only cover
topics on forest impacts on water but also provide the basics of
water properties, movement, and storage in the atmosphere, soil
matrix, and surface water bodies. Putting both major topic areas in
one manageable textbook requires trade-offs that do not dilute
either subject area too much, but rather skillfully blend the two
together. Mingteh Chang has done just that in writing this
book.

Iowa State University, in Forest Science, Vol. 49, No. 2
The book can be used as a text for students in agriculture,
forestry, and land-resources management, and as a reference for
foresters, rangers, geographers, watershed managers, biologists,
agriculturalists, environmentalists, policy makers, engineers, and
others who may need such background in their professions.
