Trophic Cascades: Predators, Prey, and the Changing Dynamics of Nature
- Collection : Prof Jim Green
- Publisher : Island Press
- Published In : Washington
- Illustrations : text figs
Description:
In the first comprehensive work on trophic cascades, leading experts in terrestrial, marine, and lake food webs distill decades of evidence and lifetimes of insight to show that large carnivores, as apex predators, exert ubiquitous and powerful effects over nature. This landmark book argues, compellingly, that the ongoing worldwide loss of megacarnivores not only impoverishes Earth's biota, but also undermines life support services needed for thriving human societies.
