Description for The Dynamic Nature of Ecosystems
Hardcover. This monograph sets out to develop a new framework within which the dynamic nature and organization of ecosystems may be understood. It introduces mathematical tools which describe and quantify the importance of spatial and temporal patterns in ecological networks. Num Pages: 280 pages, line drawings, index. BIC Classification: PBW; RNC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 249 x 183 x 23. Weight in Grams: 680.
The author presents the argument that it is the trade-off between the irregular, chaotic dynamics at the level of populations and the spatio-temporal organization at the level of the system as a whole that shapes ecological systems. This book combines the topics of theoretical analysis, natural science, philosophy and fundamental ecology in a synthetic treatment. Outlines a coherent framework to delineate the internal structure of ecological networks along the dimensions of time, space and function in the network context. Introduces mathematical tools to describe and quantify the functional importance of spatial and temporal patterns in ecological networks for ecosystem organization. ... Read more
