2.2 Ecosystems of the World
An ecosystem is a community of organisms and their physical and chemical environment interacting as an ecological unit. It represents all biological and abiotic components, including man, within a defined and delimited biotope, and is characterized by distinct ecological biocoenotic features of structure and functioning. The ecosystem relates to many different scales. At the lowest end of the s...

15 صفحه اولRestoring the Ground Layer of Longleaf Pine Ecosystems
The longleaf pine ecosystem includes some of the most species-rich plant communities outside of the tropics, and most of that diversity resides in the ground layer vegetation. In addition to harboring many locally endemic and otherwise rare plant species (Peet this volume) and enhancing habitat for the resident fauna (Costa and DeLotelle this volume), the ground layer vegetation produces fine f...
متن کاملIncreased sensitivity to climate change in disturbed ecosystems.
Human domination of the biosphere includes changes to disturbance regimes, which push many ecosystems towards early-successional states. Ecological theory predicts that early-successional ecosystems are more sensitive to perturbations than mature systems, but little evidence supports this relationship for the perturbation of climate change. Here we show that vegetation (abundance, species richn...
متن کاملSPEW: Synthetic Populations and Ecosystems of the World
Agent-based models (ABMs) simulate interactions between autonomous agents in constrained environments over time. ABMs are often used for modeling the spread of infectious diseases. In order to simulate disease outbreaks or other phenomena, ABMs rely on “synthetic ecosystems,” or information about agents and their environments that is representative of the real world. Previous approaches for gen...
