SGER: Developing Theory of Complex Ecological Systems: Brainstorming and Networks

该项目资助了一系列研究会议和总结研讨会，以考虑复杂生态系统层次理论的新范式。这项工作的重点是社区、生态系统、人口和景观中规模和观测标准的变化问题。这项工作为生态系统创造了新的类别。理论化围绕着规模问题和使用分层概念来排列生态系统的顺序。其中一个重点将是绘制生态中规模和类型变化的地图问题，并将与生态系统管理理论的发展联系起来。

This project funds a series of research sessions and summary workshop to consider new paradigms in hierarchy theory for complex ecological systems. The work focuses on questions of changes in scale and observational criteria in communities, ecosystems, population and landscapes. The work generate new categories for ecological systems. Theorizing revolves around scaling issues and the use of hierarchical concepts to order ecological systems. One of the foci will be the issues of mapping across changes in scale and type in ecology and will be linked to the development of theory for the management of ecological systems.
