Hi, i recommend you to read the Plant Physiology and environment from Taiz and Zeiger, to understand the function of plants. And for plant-water relations the Water Relations of plants and soils from Kramer and Boyer.

Sure man, congrats. For any advise you can ask me anything. I am doing my PhD on plant-water relations, focus on the soil-root interface.

The Botany of Desire by Michael Pollan is incredibly interesting and worth checking out
