Abstract

Our insight into complex ecological systems benefits from diverse perspectives. Historically various methods of observation and analysis have been used to reveal patterns and principles of structure and function. The question is not whether there is an all-powerful single best approach; such an expectation is obviously unrealistic for complex real systems. Rather, we must develop and test several tools and evaluate each in terms of specific uses for which it is best suited. The goal of the Santa Cruz SCOR Workshop on Ecological Flow Analysis was to explore the utility of a number of tools for the analysis of networks in the development of ecosystem theory (see Field et al. 1989, this volume).
