Perturbation Theory and the Subsidy-Stress Gradient

Odum, Eugene P., Finn, John T., Franz, Eldon H.·1979·BioScience

Abstract

Man-made perturbations 'often have a subsidy-stress effect; low levels may enhance, whereas higher levels depress ecosystem function and/or specific species components. Unimodal performance curves and flow diagram models clarify the meaning of terms and cause-and-effect relationships in dealing with ecosystem response to perturbation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
