Johnson, Edward A. (Professor of Biological Sciences Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Calgary, Canada) / Miyanishi, Kiyoko (Professor Emeritus, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada)
The media coverage of natural disasters (hurricanes, fires, floods, ice storms, etc.) indicates the prevalence of natural disasters in most, if not all, ecosystems. In order for ecologists to study, understand, and ultimately predict how these disturbances affect ecosystems, it is necessary for them to know more about the physical processes involved in these disturbances and to learn how to couple these processes to the ecological systems.
