Editorial: Ecological complex systems

Physics of Condensed Matter (impact factor: 1.53). 04/2012; 65(3):307-314. DOI:10.1140/epjb/e2008-00380-9 pp.307-314

ABSTRACT Main aim of this topical issue is to report recent advances in noisy nonequilibrium processes useful to describe the dynamics
of ecological systems and to address the mechanisms of spatio-temporal pattern formation in ecology both from the experimental
and theoretical points of view. This is in order to understand the dynamical behaviour of ecological complex systems through
the interplay between nonlinearity, noise, random and periodic environmental interactions. Discovering the microscopic rules
and the local interactions which lead to the emergence of specific global patterns or global dynamical behaviour and the noise’s
role in the nonlinear dynamics is an important, key aspect to understand and then to model ecological complex systems.
