Ehud Meron

Nonlinear Physics of Ecosystems (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Using problems from spatial ecology, this book shows how pattern formation theory can be applied to ecological research. Written in language understandable to most physicists and ecologists, it reveals the mechanisms of pattern formation and pattern dynamics. The book explores the implications of these mechanisms in important ecological problems, including self-organized vegetation patchiness, desertification, and biodiversity in changing environments. It also discusses recent developments, such as pattern-forming systems subjected to external periodic forcing, not covered in similar books.

Autorenporträt

Ehud Meron is a professor of physics in the Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research and the Physics Department at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. His research interests include nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation theory with applications to fluid dynamics and chemical reactions, modeling complex systems, and spatial ecology with a focus on desertification and biodiversity dynamics. Professor Meron's recent work has involved collaborating with ecologists in an effort to assimilate the concepts of pattern-formation theory into ecological research.
