Following the welcome return to print of its illustrious predecessor Serengeti this book brings together twenty years of research to provide the most sophisticated understanding to date of the spectacular Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in East Africa. This new book integrates the studies of the ecosystem at every level - from the plants at the bottom of the visible food chain, to the many species of herbivores and predators, to the system as a whole. Drawing on new data, as well as new computer technology, the contributors examine the large scale processes that have produced the the Serengeti's extraordinary biological diversity, as well as interactions among species and between plants and animals and the environment. A first rate model of the study of ecosystems.
