Descrição

Through a re-colonisation field experiment three main questions were approached: (1) How do different ecological indicators react during the process of recovery? (2) What does grow first during a community succession, biomass or complexity? (3) Can the chosen ecological indicators help in recognising the three proposed forms of growth: biomass, network and information, throughout re-colonisation? http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6W87-4H7T0S2-1/1/7f791ab537a262948dd71907dec58cc1
