Dynamics of Tropical Communities : 37th Symposium of the British Ecological Society

Omtale

Tropical communities are recognised as among the most species-rich and dynamic in the world. Yet far from existing as dynamic equilibria, large unpredictable disruptive events are seen as dominating the dynamics. This 1998 volume challenges the dynamic equilibrium idea further, considering timescale, innovative handling of unpredictability and evaluating species diversity.
