A review of the status of Philippine reefs
Since 1979, the status of Philippine reefs has been periodically updated. While conditions of
the reefs during the early surveys were assessed in terms of live coral cover per se, the …

A method for identifying keystone species in food web models
Keystones are defined as relatively low biomass species with a structuring role in their food
webs. Thus, identifying keystone species in a given ecosystem may be formulated as:(1) …

Ecosystem maturity—towards quantification
V Christensen - Ecological modelling, 1995 - Elsevier
An attempt is made to rank 41 steady-state models of aquatic ecosystems on the basis of
