Hierarchical patch dynamic paradigm

Combining Scale and Ecological Dynamics The Hierarchical Patch Dynamic Paradigm... [Pg.25]

The hierarchical patch dynamic paradigm (HPDP) meets the above requirements (Wu and Loucks 1995, Wu and David 2002). It is a model for describing at a fundamental level the interactions and dynamics of ecological systems at landscape and regional scales. The HPDP inherently incorporates and predicts a variety of temporal and spatial scales, heterogeneity, and a wide range of dynamics. The basic tenets of HPDP are listed in Table 2.1. This framework is an alternative to models of ecological systems that incorporate a balance of nature, inherent stability, or multiple equilibriums. [Pg.26]
