Description for Ecosystem Function in Heterogeneous Landscapes
Hardback. A work that connects the knowledge of system function developed in ecosystem ecology with landscape ecology's knowledge of spatial structure. It elucidates the challenges faced by ecosystem scientists working in spatially heterogeneous systems, relevant conceptual approaches used in other disciplines and in different ecosystem types. Editor(s): Lovett, G.; Jones, Clive G.; Turner, Monica G. (University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA); Weathers, Kathleen C. Num Pages: 489 pages, 94 black & white illustrations, 7 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSAF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 28. Weight in Grams: 929.
Among the most dif?cult problems in the life sciences is the challenge to understand the details of how ecosystems/watersheds/landscapes function. Yet,the welfare of all life,not just the human species,depends upon the s- cessful functioning of diverse and complicated ecosystems, each with va- ous dimensions and compositions. Central to this “working” is the dominance, and to a major extent control, of ecosystems by organisms, which means that these systems are constantly changing as the component organisms change and evolve. Such changes increase the challenge to understand the functioning of ecosystems and landscapes. Moreover,und- standing the interactions among the myriad components of ... Read more

Reviews for Ecosystem Function in Heterogeneous Landscapes
From the reviews: "Ecosystems Function in Heterogeneous Landscapes is an edited volume from the 10th Cary conference held in 2003. … This volume attempts to cover a lot of topics and will be particularly relevant to graduate students of Landscape Ecology trying to grasp some of the landscape to regional organizing frameworks that may provide ...
