Complexity in Landscape Ecology
Successful management of the worldâs ecosystems must combine models of ecosystem complexity with biodiversity, environmental, geographic, and socioeconomic data. It then reviews the ways that these ideas have led to new insights into the nature of ecosystems and the role of processes in landscapes. This book examines key concepts and analytical approaches in complexity theory as it applies to landscape ecology, including complex networks, connectivity, criticality, feedback, and self-organisation. The updated edition explores innovations in ecotechnology, including automated monitoring, big data, simulation and machine learning, and shows how they are revolutionizing ecology by making it possible to deal more effectively with complexity.
