Description: This book is about the distribution and abundance of different types of organism over the face of the earth, and about the physical, chemical but especially the biological features and interactions that determine these distributions and abundances. It deals explicitly with three levels of the biological hierarchy - the organisms, the populations of organisms, and the communities of populations.
