They published their findings in 1979 in what became an influential book, "The Basin of Mexico: Ecological Processes in the Evolution of a Civilization".
Forest species introduction often changes profoundly soil ecological processes in the forest.
The shape of a patch can influence important ecological processes in the landscape such as changes in microclimate and disturbance factors (Leitao and Ahern 2002).
In addition, until we have more knowledge on ecological processes in these assemblages, seawalls should not be considered as surrogates for natural shores.
Yet, while markets for conservation are widely discussed and increasingly applied, little research has been conducted on explicitly accounting for spatial ecological processes in the trading.
However, they may also disrupt some ecological processes in the natural forests in their new environments, such as changing the natural regimes of gap formation (Geldenhuys 1996a), or changing the behavior of fruit/seed dispersers (Dean 1985).
But, in fact, this "tree of life" became the most common troublesome invasive exotic plant species in the Brazilian tropical seasonal dry forests affecting native plant community composition and ecological processes in the invaded areas since 1942 (Alves et al. 2009; Andrade et al. 2009; Souza et al. 2016a).
Since fauna within the deep Arctic Ocean appear to represent a single species pool, we suggest that both local and β-diversity may be determined by ecological processes in the Arctic, and are not the consequence of historical or evolutionary processes.
There is a paucity of data on long-term, spatially resolved changes in microbial diversity and biogeography in marine systems, and yet these organisms underpin fundamental ecological processes in the oceans affecting socio-economic values of the marine environment.
Omitting or discarding ecological processes in the engineering of the mine waste management areas severely prolongs the longevity of current mining practices, when chemical treatment must be provided for hundreds of years.
