Since that framework describes different perceptions of regulation and stability behavior, it provides the necessary background for a 2nd topic, which concerns the particular causative relations and processes within ecosystems, the influence of external variation on them and their dynamic behavior in time and space. A 3rd topic synthesizes present understanding of the structure and behavior of ecosystems in a way that has considerable generality and organizational power. A 4th connects that understanding to global phenomena on the one hand and local perception and action on the other. date: 1985-05 date_type: published publisher: Cambridge University Press creators_browse_id: 1962 full_text_status: none series: ICSU Symposium Series number: 5 place_of_pub: Cambridge pagerange: 228-269 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-0521306706 book_title: Global Change editors_name: Roederer, J.G. editors_name: Malone, T.F. coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart citation: Holling, C.
