Ecologists are aware of the importance of natural dynamics in
ecosystems. Historically, the focus has been on the development in
succession of equilibrium communities, which has generated an
understanding of the composition and functioning of ecosystems.
Recently, many have focused on the processes of disturbances and
the evolutionary significance of such events. This shifted emphasis
has inspired studies in diverse systems. The phrase "patch
dynamics" (Thompson, 1978) describes their common focus.
The Ecology of Natural Disturbance and Patch Dynamics brings
together the findings and ideas of those studying varied systems,
presenting a synthesis of diverse individual contributions.
