To understand the distribution of plants and animals in a landscape youneed to understand how they interact with each other, and with theirenvironment. The resulting networks of interactions make ecosystems highly complex. Recent research on complexity and artificial life provides many new insights about patterns and processes in landscapes and ecosystems. This book provides the first overview of that work forgeneral readers. It covers such topics as connectivity, criticality, feedback, and networks, as well as their impact on the stability andpredictability of ecosystem dynamics.
