摘要

Complexity poses enormous challenges in ecology. In order to study complexity or factor it into our theories or models, a better understanding of complexity is needed. Complexity has at least six dimensions in ecology: spatial, temporal, structural, process, behavioral, and geometric. These six sources of complexity are discussed. Issues and approaches to the study of complexity are also discussed. It is argued that our vocabulary for describing complexity is deficient in many areas. Scaling is a successful technique that has been used to simplify complex relationships. Model reduction is shown to be a poweiful technique that applies when either ensembles of objects behave as aggregate wholes or conservation laws constrain overall behaviors. It is argued that experimental frames need more attention when dealing with complex ecosystem attributes. Life history theory and metapopulation models are two areas where further development of the subject depends on the ability to handle complexity properly. It is concluded that explicit study of complexity is both necessary and timely.
