Patch Dynamics - Marine Terrestrial Comparisons

陆地和海洋生态学是具有 开发的接触点太少，考虑到共同的 概念和方法问题，以及最近 环境问题。 预备会议（圣达菲，1989年） 确定了八个跨部门专题， 互动对于增进我们对 生态系统的整体。 这个长达一个月的夏天 空间格局和斑块动力学研究所将标记 第一个潜在的系列，目的是比较， 对比陆地和海洋生态系统， 他们被调查的方式。

Terrestrial and marine ecology are disciplines that have developed with far too few points of contact, given the common conceptual and methodological issues, as well as more recent environmental concerns. A preliminary meeting (Santa Fe 1989) identified eight cross-sectoral topics where further interaction would be valuable in advancing our understanding of ecological systems in general. This month-long summer institute on spatial patterning and patch dynamics will mark the first of a potential series with the aim of comparing and contrasting terrestrial and marine ecological systems and the ways in which they are investigated.
