This is the first volume devoted to the integration of population
and ecosystem ecology--an approach that offers vast potential for
improving our understanding of the complexities of nature and the
management of environmental problems. The editors, Clive Jones and
John Lawton, work at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in New York
and the Natural Environment Research Council Centre for Population
Biology in England, respectively. They have brought together a
distinguished group of experts to explore diverse aspects of
linking species and ecosystem perspectives: theoretical, empirical
and pragmatic including: *processes that range from a local to a
planetary scale *the role of organisms as ecosystem engineers *the
use of ecological flow chains to link population and ecosystem
processes *numerous examples of the influence of species on
ecosystem processes and vice versa *a unique blend of problems and
processes drawn from marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems
*problems of species redundancy in ecosystem processes
*stoichiometric constraints on species interactions; *scaling and
aggregation problems. The book establishes conceptual frameworks
for the rigorous study of interactions between species and
ecosystems, it points to still-unanswered questions, and it
identifies future research directions. Integration of ecology with
its implications for teaching, research and society are central to
the book. This pioneering volume will be an indispensable resource
for ecology researchers, students, and environmental managers and
will stimulate debate on the future integration of the field.
