Landscapes and the ecological processes they support are inherently complex systems, in
that they have large numbers of heterogeneous components that interact in multiple ways …

How to predict the evolution of ecosystems is one of the numerous questions asked of
ecologists by managers and politicians. To answer this we will need to give a scientific …

In many complex systems encountered in the natural and social sciences, mechanisms
governing system dynamics at a microscale depend upon the values of state variables …

To advance understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem function, ecologists seek widely
applicable relationships among species diversity and other ecosystem characteristics such …

The basic partitioning of precipitation P into evapotranspiration ET and run‐off Q is known as
the “central problem of hydrology.” ET depends primarily on precipitation, P, and potential …

Abstract The Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology (METE) predicts the shapes of
macroecological metrics in relatively static ecosystems, across spatial scales, taxonomic …

Macroecological studies have established widespread patterns of species diversity and
abundance in ecosystems but have generally restricted their scope to relatively steady‐state …

Cloud computing and its derivatives, such as fog and edge computing, have propelled the
IoT era, integrating AI and deep learning for process automation. Despite transformative …

Despite their differences, biological systems at different spatial scales tend to exhibit
common organizational patterns. Unfortunately, these commonalities are often hard to grasp …

An interesting dialogue is developed between Newman et al.(2023) and Riera et al.(2023),
in which proposals related to the development of equations of state in ecosystem ecology …
