We demonstrated the concept of scale as a unified way of thinking about phenomena and structures as diverse as waves in dispersal at the population level, trophic cascades and keystone species at the community level, and spatial pattern formation with consequences for ecosystems dynamics.
24 de abr. de 2019 · Pulse events, defined as abrupt changes in ecological parameters, are ubiquitous in ecosystems and include a wide array of phenomena, such as heat waves, marine upwelling, mass reproductive and mortality events, and biomass-altering disturbances (Yang and Naeem 2008).
1 de dic. de 2023 · Drawing from biological, evolutionary, and ecological sciences, this chapter outlines the foundational principles of ecosystem evolution, including natural selection, ecosystem succession, coevolution, diversity and stability, interconnectedness, interdependence, mutualism, and system complexity.
21 de jun. de 2023 · DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abq4207. Abstract. Ecological systems are quintessentially complex systems. Understanding and being able to predict phenomena typical of complex systems is, therefore, critical to progress in ecology and conservation amidst escalating global environmental change.
7 de sept. de 2018 · The approach for understanding regime shifts can be extended to a much broader range of phenomena and systems by focusing on transients in ecological systems, where once again ideas from dynamical systems can organize what may at first appear to be a disparate set of observations and explanations.
1 de feb. de 2014 · Macrosystems ecology is the study of diverse ecological phenomena at the scale of regions to continents and their interactions with phenomena at other scales. This emerging subdiscipline addresses ecological questions and environmental problems at these broad scales.
Transient phenomena in ecology. BACKGROUND: Much of ecological theory and the understanding of ecological systems has been based on the idea that the observed states and dynamics of ecological systems can be represented by stable asymptotic behavior of models describing these systems.
