Interactions matter. To understand the distributions of plants and
animals in a landscape you need to understand how they interact
with each other, and with their environment. The resulting networks
of interactions make ecosystems highly complex. Recent research on
complexity and artificial life provides many new insights about
patterns and processes in landscapes and ecosystems. This book
provides the first overview of that work for general readers. It
covers such topics as connectivity, criticality, feedback, and
networks, as well as their impact on the stability and
predictability of ecosystem dynamics. With over 60 years of
research experience of both ecology and complexity, the authors are
uniquely qualified to provide a new perspective on traditional
ecology. They argue that understanding ecological complexity is
crucial in today's globalized and interconnected world. Successful
management of the world's ecosystems needs to combine models of
ecosystem complexity with biodiversity, environmental, geographic
and socioeconomic information.
