Discontinuities in Ecosystems and Other Complex Systems

Zusammenfassung Are ecosystems and their components continuously distributed and do they adhere to scaling laws! or are they discontinuous and more complex than early models would have us believe? This book argues that ecosystems are inherently discontinuous and that ecology! economics! and urban studies benefit from this paradigm shift.
