A succession of theories: purging redundancy from disturbance theory
SA Pulsford, DB Lindenmayer… - Biological Reviews, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The topics of succession and post‐disturbance ecosystem recovery have a long and
convoluted history. There is extensive redundancy within this body of theory, which has …
