Abstract
In the ecological models of the previous chapters much attention is given to the dynamics of a single population. In contrast, in this chapter we model the succession of trees in a forest ecosystem. In the next we deal with predator-prey interactions.
The real trouble with our world is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait. —G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
