Energetic food webs : an analysis of real and model ecosystems
Moore, John CAuthor
De Ruiter, Peter CornelisContributor
Oxford : Oxford University Press,
2012.
This book bridges the gap between the energetic and species approaches to studying food webs, addressing many important topics in ecology. Species, matter, and energy are common features of all ecological systems. Through the lens of complex adaptive systems thinking, the authors explore how the inextricable relationship between species, matter, and energy can explain how systems are structured, and how they persist in real and model systems.
