Self-Organization in Complex Ecosystems. (MPB-42) /

Self-Organization in Complex Ecosystems. (MPB-42) / / Jordi Bascompte, Ricard Solé.

Can physics be an appropriate framework for the understanding of ecological science? Most ecologists would probably agree that there is little relation between the complexity of natural ecosystems and the simplicity of any example derived from Newtonian physics. Though ecologists have long been inte...
