Overview
Ecosystem Function in Heterogeneous Landscapes addresses how interactions among ecosystems affect the functioning of individual ecosystems and the larger landscape. This groundbreaking synthesis unites ecosystem ecology's knowledge of system function with landscape ecology's knowledge of spatial structure. The book elucidates challenges of working in spatially heterogeneous systems, approaches used in other disciplines and in different ecosystem types, and the importance of spatial heterogeneity in conservation resource management.
