The book draws on the results of five years research on the dynamics of an ecosystem where elephant and antelope populations were severely decimated more than a century ago, and then recovered. We show that both the decline and return of elephants caused profound ecosystem perturbations. A heterogeneity framework (Pickett et al. 2003) provides the conceptual structure of the book. Following Pickett et al. (2003) we consider the e. | ||
