A comparison of terrestrial and marine ecological systems

I review here the differences between temporal variability in terrestrial and marine environments and consider how this external forcing may affect population fluctuations in the two systems. The internal dynamics and community responses are expected to differ significantly with marine populations more likely to show longer term changes between alternative community structures.
