"Serengeti II: Dynamics, Management, and Conservation of an
Ecosystem" brings together twenty years of research by leading
scientists to provide the most most thorough understanding to date
of the spectacular Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in East Africa, home to
one of the largest and most diverse populations of animals in the
world.
Building on the groundwork laid by the classic "Serengeti: Dynamics
of an Ecosystem," published in 1979 by the University of Chicago
Press, this new book integrates studies of the ecosystem at every
level--from the plants at the bottom of the visible food chain, to
the many species of herbivores and predators, to the system as a
whole. Drawing on new data from many long-term studies and from
more recent research initiatives, and applying new theory and
computer technology, the contributors examine the large-scale
processes that have produced the Serengeti's extraordinary
biological diversity, as well as the interactions among species and
between plants and animals and their environment. They also
introduce computer modeling as a tool for exploring these
interactions, employing this new technology to test and anticipate
the effects of social, political, and economic changes on the
entire ecosystem and on particular species, and so to shape future
conservation and management strategies.
