"#Ecosystem development becomes channeled into one of a limited number of typical #patterns determined by local environmental conditions as well as by initial events early in their [...] development. If we were to classify each system type in terms of a basic organizational plan, we would have a powerful tool in developing a general theory of ecosystem structure and functioning" [1]

Study tracks how newcomers may change ecosystem functions

In a study tracking climate-induced changes in the distribution of animals and their effects on ecosystem functions, North Carolina State University researchers show that resident species can continue managing some important ecological processes despite the arrival of newcomers that are similar to them, but resident species' role in ecosystem functioning changes when the newcomers are more different.
