Excellent- More about Meta-Ecosystem Dynamics: Understanding Ecosystems Through the Transformation and Movement of Matter
The book discusses current meta-ecosystem models and their derivation from classical ecosystem and metapopulation theories, emphasizing the role of nonlinear dynamics on spatial and food web networks. It suggests that these advances lead to a generalization of meta-ecosystem theories to spatial fluxes of matter with both trophic and non-trophic impacts on species.

This comprehensive book delves into the realm of current meta-ecosystem models, providing a detailed exploration of their derivation from classical ecosystem and metapopulation theories. It offers a comprehensive review of recent modeling efforts that have emphasized the crucial role of nonlinear dynamics in shaping spatial and food web networks. These models have shed light on their implications within the context of spatial synchrony and ecological stoichiometry, highlighting the interconnectedness of various ecological processes.
The book suggests that these advancements naturally lead to a generalization of meta-ecosystem theories to encompass the spatial fluxes of matter, both trophic and non-trophic, that have a profound impact on species. Ecosystem dynamics, a fundamental aspect of ecological studies, encompasses the cycling of matter and energy across ecological compartments through processes such as consumption and recycling. Spatial dynamics, rooted in metapopulation theories, focuses on scaling up local ecological processes through the limited movement of individuals and matter.
Over the past 15 years, theories integrating ecosystem and spatial dynamics have converged to form the foundation of meta-ecosystem theories. This book serves as a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers seeking to delve deeper into the synthesis of ecosystem and spatial dynamics, which are essential components of the theory of meta-ecosystems. By unraveling the complex interplay between these dynamics, the book offers insights into the complex nature of ecological systems and their response to environmental changes.
