Abstract
ecologists have progressed far beyond this simple duplex, explaining numerousaspects of the nested causes and consequences of population cycling at multiple trophic levels, including some relating directly to the plants that haresgraze [1], andmanagement of terrestrial ecosystems is a mature discipline in which multi-species interactions and socio-economics are often considered holistically [2]. But our understanding of a ‘green world’. An example from themarine environment shows how plants are denuded by herbivores when predators are removed: off the coast of Alaska, forests of kelp thrive in the nutrient-rich waters, supporting communities of sea urchins that are in turn consumed by sea otters; when killer whales moved closer in shore from their usual open-ocean hunting grounds in the early 1990s and began to eat sea otters, otter numbers plummeted and urchins boomed inPeng, C.C., Yu, X.C., Zhu, S.Y., et al.
