• natural and anthropogenic canopies, including forests, urban or wavy terrains;

• the fundamentals of heat transfer;

• atmospheric flow dynamics;

• global carbon budget;

• climate change; and

• the relevance of biochar as a global carbon sink.

Including solved exercises, numerous illustrations and tables, as well as an entire chapter focused on applications, book is of interest to researchers, students and industrial engineers alike.
