However, the relative importance of such automatic links in multinutrient models may be called into question considering the contents of subsequent chapters which point out the significance of the development of antigrazing mechanisms (which may often be associated with changes in stoichiometry in phototrophs). Chapter 2 (Melián et al.) considers spatial structure and dynamics in marine food webs; this is a brief and, to my mind, the least satisfying of the chapters. Chapter 3 (Christian et al.) looks at the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
