Résumé :
|
EE Book 11 documents John Lawton's insights into community ecology. The book begins by describing field situations in northern England and short-term reductionist experiments. It proceeds towards increasingly complex assemblages, pointing out that short-term, small-scale studies are unlikely to allow useful predictions of global effects. Lawton criticises the insufficient use of models. He advocates concentration on key processes such as competition, trophic interactions and mutualism, as well as long-term system dynamics and whole-system manipulations.
