Springer - From Energetics to Ecosystems - Ecology Book

Ecosystems serve as our essential life support systems, yet they remain complex and enigmatic. This book, part of The Peter Yodzis Fundamental Ecology Series, explores the dynamics and structure of these vital systems. It represents a major development in the field where math and physics meet ecology. Through various strategies that vary in approach and scale, this text helps researchers understand how to predict ecosystem behavior when faced with perturbations. The content brings together some of the world's leading ecologists to examine these systems from theoretical, experimental, and empirical viewpoints. By moving from energetics to full ecosystems, the book provides a comprehensive look at the biological sciences for students and professionals alike.
