Abstract/Summary:
We explore the issues relevant to those types of ecosystems
containing new combinations of species that arise through
human action, environmental change, and the impacts of
the deliberate and inadvertent introduction of species from
other regions. Novel ecosystems (also termed ‘emerging
ecosystems’) result when species occur in combinations and
relative abundances that have not occurred previously within
a given biome.
