Is successional research nearing its climax? New approaches for understanding dynamic communities

2015-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Succession has been a focus of extensive ecological study for well over a century. Despite this sustained interest, succession remains a central theme in ecological research and is positioned to continue that prominence in this era of expanding human impacts. Community ecology is currently experiencing a profound conceptual expansion, providing many new insights into succession. Here we present an existing concept...
