Synopsis

Briefly about the book ... Vegetation Science meets quantum theory in the energy-based entropy model of this book. The model is based on Max Planck’s postulate that potential energy and entropy are interchangeable parameters in resonator complexes. What is a typical outcome of the model in vegetation studies? The model hands users a set of entropy estimates and probabilities based on which the strength and uniqueness of a metacommunity’s energy structure can be characterised in comparative terms.

Orlóci is an INTECOL Distinguished Statistical Ecologist. He is external (academician) Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and regular (academician) Fellow of the Academy of Sciences of the Royal Society of Canada. Orlóci published over 100 papers in scientific journals, numerous monographs, books and book chapters. His current essays on trajectory analysis, the rules of process governance, and the phylogenetic signal in vegetation transitions have considerable significance for evolutionary ecology and global change science. His present work on energy structures in metacommunities is seminal, pointing to a new direction.
