Complex Ecology
Foundational perspectives on Dynamic Approaches to Ecology and Conservation
Book • 2018
Complex Ecology offers a synthesis of ideas from complexity and resilience science as they apply to ecological understanding and conservation strategies.
Curtin and contributors explore dynamic, non-equilibrium approaches to managing ecosystems under changing conditions, arguing for adaptive, flexible methods over static, command-and-control frameworks.
The book connects theory to practice with examples and discussions relevant to researchers, managers, and policymakers.
It forms part of Curtin's broader project to rethink conservation in the face of accelerating environmental change.
The text is aimed at those seeking conceptual and applied tools for working with ecological complexity.
