Discontinuities in Ecosystems and Other Complex Systems /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

Following the publication of C. S. Holling's seminal work on the relationship between animal body mass patterns and scale-specific landscape structure, ecologists began to explore the theoretical and applied consequences of discontinuities in ecosystems and other complex systems. Are ecosystems...
