摘要
A statistical mechanical approach to the properties of ecological hierarchies is discussed, with particular reference to the non-equilibrium ("intermediate disturbance") view of the nature of certain ecological communities. A notion of statistical equilibrium for such systems is described, and the effect of transient perturbations from this equilibrium (i.e. "intermediate disturbances") considered, both in their short and long term effects.
