Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the properties of gases and liquids (primarily water) relevant to Environmental Physics. Physical properties of gases such as density, heat capacity, and molecular diffusivity influence many of the exchanges between organisms or land surfaces and their environment. Evaporation of water from soils, plants, and animals is also important for their heat balance. Basic equations are developed here to specify the Equation of State of gases and the principles by which the state of liquid water can be specified‘ in organisms and soil. These principles will be applied in later chapters.
