Models in Ecosystem Science / / ed. by Charles D. Canham, William K. Lauenroth, Jonathan J. Cole.
Quantitative models are crucial to almost every area of ecosystem science. They provide a logical structure that guides and informs empirical observations of ecosystem processes. They play a particularly crucial role in synthesizing and integrating our understanding of the immense diversity of ecosy...
