Networks on Networks

A new mathematical tool that promises to offer important insights into global warming by predicting soil formation and depth and the influence of soil on vegetation growth is revealed in a book co-authored by Wright State physics professor Allen Hunt.

The book — “Networks on Networks: The Physics of Geobiology and Geochemistry” — was written by Hunt and Stefano Manzoni of Stockholm University’s Bolin Centre for Climate Research. The book shows that it is necessary to understand connections within water and solute transport paths from the soil through the roots and stems to the canopy, and from
