Exploring Ecosystem Variability Through Geological Time Scale Epochs: Insights from the Past for Present Conservation Ch

This study by Robert T. Paine of University of Washington examines how past epochs, ranging from the Paleocene to Pleistocene, can provide valuable insights into understanding and conserving modern ecosystems. Through a review of key events on Tatoosh Island, WA in 1989, the research delves into the implications of disturbance history on present biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics, as published in the PNAS journal (Springer et al., 2003).
