They tended to be reductionist and flow equations combined macroscopic laws of flow and of material and energy balance. They were difficult to solve because material transfer properties tend to be strongly related to the local concentration of an entity of concern, to the location, or to both. The architecture of the soil and the plant canopy also complicated their formulation, the scale of their application and their test.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDedication to John Robert Philip AO FAA FRS\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Editors\u003c\/i\u003e vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Editors\u003c\/i\u003e ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributions to Environmental Mechanics: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eP.
