Species, matter, and energy are common features of all ecological systems. Through the lens of complex adaptive systems thinking, the authors explore how the inextricable relationship between species, matter, and energy can explain how systems are structured and how they persist in real and model systems. Food webs are viewed as open anddynamic systems. The central theme of the book is that the basis of ecosystem persistence and stability rests on the 410 0$aOxford Series in Ecology and Evolution 606 $aCoral reef ecology 606 $aFood chains (Ecology) 606 $aScience -- Experiments 606 $aScience -- Study and teaching 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aCoral reef ecology. 615 4$aFood chains (Ecology). 615 4$aScience -- Experiments. 615 4$aScience -- Study and teaching. 676 $a577 676 $a577.16 700 $aMoore$b John C$0197967 701 $aDe Ruiter$b Peter Cornelis$f1952-$0866026 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462233003321 996 $aEnergetic Food Webs$91932874 997 $aUNINA
