Hirata \& Fukao (1977, Math. Biosci. 33, 321-334) showed that the model of mass and energy flow in closed ecosystems presented by Ulanowicz (1972, J. theor. Biol. 34, 239-253) and May (1973, J. theor. Biol. 39, 155-163) was physically inconsistent and proposed an improved version of it. It is shown

In this paper, we investigate the problem of secondary extinction in food webs through the use of dominator trees, network topological structures that reduce food webs to linear pathways that are essential for energy delivery. Each species along these chains is responsible for passing energy to the

Energy conversion takes place either in generalized capacitor or generalized resistor networks, that is, C-and R-$elds in the sense of Paynterian bondgraphs. Entropy is interpreted aa a kind of thermal charge. An electrical example is th,e difference of conduction and convection associated with mass

A little understood question in climate and ecological modelling is when a system appropriately can be considered in statistical equilibrium or quasi-steady state. The answer bears on a host of central issues, including the ability of small perturbations to cause large catastrophes, the constant dri

## Abstract Fire is an important and natural process in the lifecycle of chaparral systems, removing old growth and recycling nutrients. Recent catastrophic wildfires in southern California chaparral have heightened concerns about increased runoff and nutrient export. The goal of this study was to
