Once enamored with the conceptual beauty of well-balanced, homogeneous ecosystems, ecologists now assert that much of the essence of ecological systems lies in their lumpiness. Patches with differing properties and behaviors lie strewn across the land- scape, products of the complex interactions of climate, disturbance, and biotic processes. It is the collective behavior of this patchwork of eco- systems that drives pattern and process of the landscape. is not an end point This realization of the importance of patch dynamics in itself, however. Rather, it is a passage to a new conceptual framework, the internal workings of which remain obscure. The next tier of questions includes: What are the fundamental pieces that compose a landscape? How are these pieces bounded? To what extent do these boundaries influence communication and interaction among patches of the landscape? Will con- sideration of the interactions among landscape elements help us to under- stand the workings of landscapes? At the core of these questions lies the notion of the ecotone, a term with a lineage t | 出版日期 | Book 1992 | 關(guān)鍵詞 | biology; conservation biology; ecology; ecosystem; ecosystems; ecotone; landscape ecology; simulation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-2804-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4612-7677-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-2804-2Series ISSN 0070-8356 Series E-ISSN 2196-971X | issn_series | 0070-8356 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York, Inc. 1992 |
