Heisenberg’s Uncertainty principle and tree growth? Planck’s law and global warming? Ergodic hypothesis and meteorological towers? Odd pairs? The discipline of Environmental Physics takes fundamental laws and principles well-known and studied in physics and places them in the context of what’s surrounds us – our environment. Their application allows us to answer a broad spectrum of questions ranging from the basic energy and mass exchange between the atmosphere and the vegetation to highly complex interactions between landuse change and the predicted Earth’s climate.
