Ecological Stoichiometry - Sterner Robert W
All life is chemical. This long-awaited book brings this field into its own as a unifying force in ecology and evolution. That fact underpins the developing field of ecological stoichiometry, the study of the balance of chemical elements in ecological interactions.
The book examines fundamental chemical constraints on ecological phenomena such as competition, herbivory, symbiosis, energy Synthesizing a wide range of knowledge, Robert Sterner and Jim Elser show how an understanding of the biochemical deployment of elements in organisms from microbes to metazoa provides the key to making sense of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.After summarizing the chemistry of elements and their relative abundance in Earth's environment, the authors proceed along a line of increasing complexity and scale from molecules to cells, individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems.
