  • Resolving Ecosystem Complexity

    by Oswald J. Schmitz ...
    Series Book 47 - Monographs in Population Biology
    An ecosystem's complexity develops from the vast numbers of species interacting in ecological communities. The nature of these interactions, in turn, depends on environmental context. How do these components together influence an ecosystem's behavior as a whole? Can ecologists resolve an ecosystem's complexity in order to predict its response to disturbances? Resolving Ecosystem Complexity ... Read more
