The Impact of Spatial and Temporal Dimensions of Disturbances on Ecosystem Stability

The Impact of Spatial and Temporal Dimensions of Disturbances on Ecosystem Stability

Ecosystems constantly face disturbances which vary in their spatial and temporal features, yet little is known on how these features affect ecosystem recovery and persistence, i.e., ecosystem stability. We address this issue by considering three ecosystem models with different local dynamics, and as...
