Networks on Networks : The physics of geobiology and geochemistry

This book presents research into the physical rules that can underlie the behavior of biota, as well as the geochemistry of soil development. It addresses both nutrient and water transport limitations of processes from chemical weathering to vascular plant growth. It attempts to bring order to the question of the extent to which soils can facilitate plant growth, and what limitations on plant sizes, metabolism, occurrence and correlations can be formulated thereby.
