Publisher's Synopsis
Briefly about the book ... Vegetation Science meets quantum theory in the energy-based entropy model of this book. The model is based on Max Planck's postulate that potential energy and entropy are interchangeable parameters in resonator complexes. What is a typical outcome of the model in vegetation studies? The model hands users a set of entropy estimates and probabilities based on which the strength and uniqueness of a metacommunity's energy structure can be characterised in comparative terms.
